If you use a credit card with Patreon, the credit card company takes a cut.
If you use Patreon at all, Patreon takes a cut.
If you use Apple's in-app purchases to fund Patreon, Apple takes a cut.

Bitching about Apple's services taking a cut is like bitching that the post office requires stamps on snail mail.
Bitching about Apple's services taking a cut for in-app purchases is like bitching that restaurants have to pay rent to the building owner.
Bitching about Apple's services taking a cut for in-app purchases is like bitching about paying shipping for online purchases.

In the "unintended consequences" territory, there is the issue that since the current form factor has been used for 15 years, the racks, mounts, and cabling systems are then all rended obsolete. If Apple really presses this, are we looking at an iMac killer? A Thunderbolt dongle sized thingy that attaches to a monitor? Choices are good; I'm curious about this.

Mac Mini is supposed to fill the "desktop consumer level" niche. How about a "whole home Mac" that replaces the AppleTV, sits on the home network and cabled to the TV, but is available for any monitor, any where on that network? IOW, the CPU is home network based, not a box sitting next to the monitor (which is exactly what an iMac is for one screen.) Nifty idea, but of course, making a product that reduces the need for consumers to buy your other products isn't...insanely great. 

Edit: and...and...and...make that cabled box a new wifi Airport base station. Yeah, I know...and a unicorn pony as well.

Disappointed Apple TV 4K is still limited to 48 kHz audio from both hi-res Apple Music  and streaming directly from a Mac. Imagine if your photo streaming was limited to 720 ppi.
