> I'd personally never go somewhere else to pay for your subscription or content.

When "going elsewhere" means "getting stuff cheaper", people are likely going to go elsewhere to pay for any subscription even if setup is notably less convenient.



Depends how much cheaper.

If my Shonen Jump subscription goes from $2 to $1.70, I'd rather pay the 30 cents than have to click and type for 2 minutes, and then have to solve a mystery to cancel it later.

If my ChatGPT Pro (hypothetical, I don't pay for that) went from $200 to $170, maybe worth it.


why not let everyone decide for themselves if they want to pay the extra to do the purchase in app?


Explain to me where I made the argument that they shouldn't?


Your first comment where you said "Why not?" to a comment questioning the clause that apps are required to use in-app purchases would be read as supporting Apple's restrictions, i.e. no user choice.
