One reason Apple fought tooth and nail to disallow web payments for apps:
Because Apple’s IAP is SO bad in many ways, and *so many* apps will move to web-based payments now not mainly because of the 30% Apple fee, but because of how bad IAP is (from a dev perspective).
Let me give you21 examples:

There's an "identical ancestors point" (IAP) in human history where everyone alive was *either* an ancestor of EVERYONE alive today, or of no-one alive today.
The IAP relatively recent: from 5,000 to 15,000 years ago, about the time that Stonehenge was built.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?
8% of the human genome is made of viral sequences, and another 35-50% are virus-like sequences with the ability to hop around your genome.
For comparison, only 1.5-3% of your genome contains genes.
We're basically a vehicle for viruses.

When the Navy contracted Ballard's team to locate two nuclear submarines lost in the Atlantic, they used the hunt for the Titanic as a cover story and it was fairly inconvenient that Ballard found the wreck in addition to both submarines.

16. Pausing billing for a customer who requests this or needs it. Again… not with IAP!!
17. Gifting a subscription to a friend. You guessed it: now with IAP!!
18. Sending a reminder that you’ll be charged your annual sub. Not with IAP
Do you see why devs will want web IAP?

I mean I know IAP was 90s but it was easily, easily the most revolutionary comedy moment of the last 40 years and the whole strand has just got better with each revisiting

10. Discounts and deals
IAP has none of these!!
11. Trials with more flexibility than what Apple IAP offers. Nope!
Can you see why web payments will be tempting for *so many* app developers?
Apple IAP is stuck in ~2015, has no real improvements for what app devs would need.

1. Refunds (as a dev/merchant)
With Apple IAP it’s just not possible to do!! No, it really is not for the merchant. They cannot do a full or partial refund. Talk about poor customer support!
2. Group subscriptions. Nonexistent with IAP.
3. Paying using a non-credit card option. IAP does not allow

There are some reasons not to wholeheartedly endorse the 2004 computer modeling of the IAP. The assumptions about human behavior were artificial.
But I want to emphasize that while the 2004 group may have picked TOO RECENT an IAP, the EXISTENCE of an IAP is undeniable.

Without some serious changes, I’d expect Apple’s IAP to become the exception rather than the rule.

You had a large number of ancestors alive at the IAP, but not all of them contributed EQUALLY to your genetic lineage.
If you are European, almost all of your ancestors since the IAP have been European & that explains the inheritance of certain traits by locality.
