Wouldn't that include all app-building startups since they either rely on google or apple because the app store is their only way of distribution?

Yes. It covers such a wide spectrum: - white labeled products - Relying on a reseller - Relying on a marketplace - Relying on an app store - Plugin for a platform - Relying on Adwords/SEO I hope

Curious how this maps onto writing, where you likely need to go through three intermediaries (publisher, distributor, merchant). Maybe the conclusion is: don't become a writer! Or maybe it's: become a writer, but write essays & books on the web!

AFAICT it's still usually (not always) much more directly profitable to write books the conventional way. Indirectly, you want to be on the web.
