All the metaphors I've used are yours, Ivan. Why would they anger me? I'm not the one who came up with them :-).
What you've pointed out has no bearing whatsoever on what's being discussed here. This isn't about some stretched out definition of "payment system" that applies to those services that happen to have both iOS and Android client applications. It's strictly about what works in applications available on Apple's App Store. For many of them your point 4 doesn't even apply because they don't have an Android variant in the first place.
Let me know when you'd like to go back to discussing the actual issue from the linked article. Bye!
You're making a lot of noise to distract from the fact it is entirely possible to use other payment mechanisms for digital goods to consume in apps, and that from comparison to stores for physical goods we established that promoting other means for purchasing from the app on a given platform is an unreasonable expectation, exactly like expecting Coca Cola served in McDonalds to be allowed to be labelled "available for 1 euro less at Burger King!"
Arguably their entire position with Meta is even more unreasonable than your positions here. No wonder the EU struggles in business.
I see we're back to Coca Cola, McDonalds and Burger King. Oh, and Meta, somehow? This is about Apple, I think you're in the wrong thread.
Ivan the Terrible of metaphor goes for the deflection!
