It's only about payment 1) allow using whatever payment they want 2) allow practicing whatever price they want on another platform 3) allow practicing whatever price they want on alternate payment system
There is no valid justification to forbid to sell the same application at a lower price on the other platform... Development time and cost may be very different between platforms...
There is nothing about making sideloading a required feature... only killing some abusive rules...
On payments? This is the most delusional argument out there. Developers filing suit only wants more profit. That is as simple as these suites are. Have you ever heard of people complaining about the price of Candy Crush? You can pay 99c or 99 dollars. Up to you. The app is written to dive into people's addictions to derive money out of them. And Blizzard just wants to keep more of that money instead of giving it to Google or Apple. That is how simple the "Payment" argument is. If people were honest about this we may be able to work on solving privacy, control, ownership, etc. There might be 99 problems with the app store but payment ain't one of them. -ok
