@ldstephens Thank you. I am glad it is not just me. As a user I am happy to pay the Developer’s Salary Tax; the Developers Electricity Usage Tax; the Developers Hardware Depreciation Tax, and all the other expenses their business incurs. Why a charge for using the facilities and having access to the customers of another business causes them so much anguish is a mystery. Just factor that charge, like all the other expenses, into the pricing. Then they are happy, I’m happy and Apple is happy. If they seriously thought Apple was going to roll over and give them free access to their customers they must have been, as John Gruber put it, smoking the good stuff.
