Consumers can continue to use app-store payments if they wish (and I bet the vast majority would), but developers and companies can no longer complain about Apple's monopoly over payment processing.

Also who is to say the developer would charge less? Let's say, for example, a company called ezpay charges $1 per transaction. If an IAP costs $10, they make $7 off the user who buys via Apple, and $9 off the user that buys via ezpay API in the app. They could lower the ezpay price to $8 and still only make $7, but why bother?
Only the tiniest % of HN idealists will pay 30% extra to have it go through Apple.
Google One already charges you less if you subscribe via web or android. They just haven't been allowed to advertise this fact in the iOS app.
