Just hypothetically here, what would the App Store look like if it didn't take a cut?
Let's say everything stays the same, obviously, Apple would earn less money but let's ignore that obvious impediment, I guess they would would care less about how much an app makes in revenue, and exclusively about the quality of it.
Would that be better overall for the consumer?
Would it be awful for app developers, because Apple could be a lot more (than it already is) picky about what goes into the AppStore? It could create extreme rules that it doesn't care at all about relaxing, since whether a new app is in the store or not, makes no difference revenue wise for Apple.
Maybe they could finally properly tackle some predatory IAP practices, that I assume are still allowed due to the revenue they bring in.
