Indeed. It took a court battle, and holding Apple in contempt of court, and perjury by one of Apple's executives before Apple was forced to do it (did it comply?).

Why not everywhere?

> Even in the store, Apple charges 15% if your revenue is below $1 million and charges 15% for renewals after the first year.

No, Apple was going to charge 27% on sales happening outside of the App Store, if linked in the app.

Also, you keep trying to diminish/dismiss this as if was no big deal.

Also, the latest court order was a victory for Apple, not for devs. Apple, again, can charge commission in external links, restrict language in those links etc.
