Eh I mean that’s what Amazon is hoping but it only happens if you start depending on the AWSBucks.
* Pay 30% to Apple or Google on their stores.
* Pay 20% to Amazon on their store and get 10% in AWS credits.
If you just treat it like the credits are worthless then it might still be a good deal. But probably not since Amazon is cutting fees and offering incentives because their store has so few customers. The Microsoft store had similar programs a while back and it didn’t really go anywhere.
People always focus on the Apple “tax” but forget that the App Store and the Play Store’s value are as sales channels and they can get away with charging that much because in aggregate publishers will make more money paying it than not being in the store. Amazon doesn’t have that value prop currently.
