10x the number of price points is nuts.
Then again, at this point, Apple is a treasury operation that also sells phones and computers.

I'm guessing you are joking but incase you were not, Apple still makes far far more from selling new products than they do from investments. So that statement is false or misleading.
When you RTFA, you'll learn that Apple is also making it far simpler to manage their app pricing in 45 currencies/175 storefronts. For example:
"Starting today, developers of subscription apps will also be able to manage currency and taxes across storefronts more effortlessly by choosing a local storefront they know best as the basis for automatically generating prices across the other 174 storefronts and 44 currencies. Developers will still be able to define prices per storefront if they wish. The pricing capability by storefront will expand to all other apps in spring 2023."
Additional capabilities are noted in the announcement.
App developers don't want to go choose a competitive price in every one of 174 locales.
But they also don't want to be pricing too high or low for what the local population can afford/is willing to pay.
Let apple do the fancy machine learning to figure out optimal translation tables for each locale to maximize revenue.
So I don’t understand what’s different here.
