So one thing I hadn't thought about before was that Apple's behavior is even more ridiculous than I originally considered. By force-taking 30%, they're basically ensuring that, for example, there will be a FortFone at some point.

Since basically everyone can fork Android and ship a knock-off phone if they want to (and tons of people do), I mean, that's just going to happen. Why wouldn't it?

I can't be the only one who feels like the market is crying out for a serious, mainstream alternative - Microsoft, I'm looking at you here. (A man can only dream).

One way to look at it; Its a bet against your above point: Apple betting that people buy phones for the HW, OS, services from them, & that games/apps are interchangeable commodities. Epic & others betting that's not the case. It's interesting because they're both partly right

Except it seems like if Apple just dropped their commission to 10%, then that's the end of it? Like nobody would have a reason to do any of that stuff anymore. It seems crazy not to, since they have so much to lose...

I feel it's less about big apps and more about ecosystem now, at least on the whole. I'm sure there are niches that could be lured away.
