Everyone keeps mentioning "sending Apple money" as if that were a bad thing. If you opened a storefront on 5th Avenue or Rodeo Drive not only would you pay rent but also a percentage of your sales. But that premiere location affords you benefits that earn you greater income than a more pedestrian location would. We also live in country (world?) that gravitates toward two parties only - politically that would be Democrats and Republicans (as third parties never succeed) but it carries into other areas as well. Customers have not been wronged and do not complain. The only complaints come from developers who want to keep all their money and not pay the rent due. This duopoly is not a crisis. What is, and what should be occupying the lazy lives of Congress people, is the pandemic, voting rights, climate problems, infrastructure, etc. This is not a single company controlling an entire industry, and the rates charged are not unusual or out of order. The greedy developers already making hundreds of millions dollars are the ones that complain for more. Keep the government out of it!
