On: Apple cuts App Store affiliate commission from 7% ...

Different rates make sense to me because if you're going to buy a movie or a song, you can go to Amazon, Spotify, etc. Apple doesn't have a monopoly on those sales. If you want to buy an app for your iPhone the App Store is literally the only place you can get it.

It makes sense from Apple's perspective, but kind of sucks for everyone else.

Yes, it makes perfect business sense for Apple itself, but it is just another Apple decision that negatively impacts Apple's developers.
