UK trial over Apple's App Store fees seeks $1.83B fine

UK trial over Apple's App Store fees seeks $1.83B fine
I believe the UK gets income and property taxes from Apple.
The real gist of this money grab is the UK is about broke. Their credit rating is going down as shown by the ever increasing interest rates on the government bonds they continue to issue which reflects on the credit worthiness of the UK. Higher interest rates are for higher risk.
No one is holding a weapon to the body of any UK developer. They are entirely free to create their own store front and sell directly;y to Apple customers like many other Apple centric developers. I say cut the BS.
They want a free ride where they have zero costs incurred to advertise nationally and internationally along with free distribution of the product around the UK and EU. In addition, another benefit I believe is that Apple collects the use/sales/VAT taxes and remits it to the government.
