I don't think they'll be taking a stance any time soon, the top grossing apps on iPhone include YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook and Threads so this is probably worth billions/year in fees that are disproportionately profit too. And that's ignoring the games!
The only chance maybe is if courts and regulators lock in zero-commission or a very small fee that eliminates Apple's incentive to allow and tax this stuff.

You don't need Apple to fight for any of these things.

Fair point, but it would definitely make it easier for a lot of people, me included.
I went completely off grid for many years from Instagram, Facebook, etc. but in the end, I just felt isolated from friends and family and installed it again.

Can't take it seriously and read the article.
You have a statement to make and the your choice is making it's own statement about usability that is, frankly, off putting.

Thanks for this comment, I needed it! I should've removed the "artsy" stuff for the blog posts when introduced them. Now fixed!
