> This forum will never understand is that 95% of Apple users DO NOT want to go to a random website and download to save a few bucks.

Almost everyone uses Google's store on Android. The average person doesn't know what 3rd party stores are, they don't go to websites to make payments. I'm a more advanced user and never had to go to a website and download and app, unless I absolutely wanted to.

Not sure why you think it would be different on iOS.
