Seriously. Do people not use Safari on their phones to browse the web? iPhone users are still exposed to the same risks via that method and we are doing just fine.
This is going to save us all money. It’s a good thing for everyone but Apple.

Is it? I was forced to sign up for Disney Plus using their website last week instead of subscribing through the App Store. Now I have to use their website to cancel my subscription when I finish Andor. Maybe Disney's subscription cancelation process is easy, but how many of my subscriptions are going to dark pattern and gaslight me into thinking I don't want to cancel now?
If Apple had some kind of integration for third party devs to add subscriptions/payments into the App Store so users can cancel them or ask for refunds, and then required devs to use it without regulators getting in the way, I'd be less annoyed.
People who bought an iPhone are not users, they are customers who bought a product they now own. It’s not unreasonable to expect that the customers who bought product with their own money have control over said product.
Repeating this ridiculous argument doesn’t make it any less ridiculous. Imagine if the automotive world did what Apple does, how damn pound the outcry would be today.
