So

- the devs all need to get licesnses and specific hardware to develop for IOS

- They spin up their own servers to manage all the finances coming in

- They work on their payment processing solution separate from Apple. And Patreon still pays some fee to apple over the app.

- the model of Patreon only takes 5% off of creators, so that's not enough for Apple. It also wants a cut at the customers of the website who provide services. Customers not beholden to any one platform.\

- And to force them to do that, they are kicking the other processing plan off as an option, leaving only them to work with.

And it's somehow not evil? If I let a friend sleepover at my apartment, is the landlord in the right to demand a day of rent from them too?
