>I think we are going around in circles on this. Even 14% worldwide is significant enough for me to ask for regulation but the right number to look at is, app revenue generated.
This is such an absurd comment. Revenue has nothing to do with whether a company is a monopoly. Monopoly has to do with competition. Do you have a choice to use a company other than Apple? Yes, unequivocally yes. Apple, with their 14% market share do not have a monopoly. You can't just willy nilly make shit up to fit your argument.
> I am not talking about my choice as an end user here, I am talking about my choice as a developer. If 50% of my revenue is from iOS, I really can't afford to not be there.
and as I said even in comments above, US share is 50% of devices, much higher of app revenue. If I have a product/service targeted at US, that becomes my main market.
My position is about developers here as I have stated above several times, you are conflating it with my choice as an user.
