I wish people would stop defending apple here.

The reason for apple doing something is not that it wants its users to be safe or to protect them. It just wants to make more money by preventing other companies from doing stuff on its phones. This is it. If it would be possible then it would ask for 50 or 79% of sales on the app store, if it could it would take a % of every transaction done in Safari

This is so unbelievably weird to me. Apple is a multi-trillion(!) dollar corporation whose sole purpose is to generate profit and increase it YoY. Yet people are acting like scary government bureaucrats are trying to persecute their best friend. Some of the comments on places like the macrumors forums feel like people trying to defend a cult.

Apple has unfortunately replaced religion in certain market segments. At this point Apple could just drain everyone's Apple Pay cards and there still would be a vocal group of people arguing that they're doing everyone a public service by educating them about the dangers of shopping online.
