Deliberately. The market didn’t notice the 30% extra app payments, so Apple did very well over the last 10+ years.

Will we see competition to the app store? I can’t imagine it, but antitrust never touched them like Microsoft with their “browser”.

Lack of control over JS execution basically.

That’s why Apple does not approve apps relying on webviews and Google will soon do the same.
