Most of this is *by choice*. This alternative (web payments) is going to take away so much money Apple is making from software

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
