Basecamp, Blix, Blockchain.com, Deezer, Epic Games, the European Publishers Council, Match Group, News Media Europe, Prepear, Protonmail, SkyDemon, Spotify, and Tile have established the Coalition for App Fairness (CAF), an independent nonprofit organization. CAF will advocate for enforcement and reforms, including legal and regulatory changes, to preserve consumer choice and a level playing field for app and game developers that rely on app stores and the most popular gatekeeper platforms.
You can learn more about the Coalition and its App Store Principles on the Coalition for App Fairness website here.
“As enforcers, regulators, and legislators around the world investigate Apple for its anti-competitive behavior, The Coalition for App Fairness will be the voice of app and game developers in the effort to protect consumer choice and create a level playing field for all,” said Horacio Gutierrez, Head of Global Affairs and Chief Legal Officer at Spotify.

That's quite the list of app developers who are willing to take on the extortionist fees of Apples monopoly, all for the benefit of the consumer.
It's guaranteed that more developer's will be joining the coalition.

I've got nothing against Tim and still remember him as a geek building toolsets and engines but a "Coalition for App Fairness" sounds like something Vince McMahon would be touting while standing in the center of a wrestling ring with a rowdy crowd booing him. LOL
Too much money makes people crazy.
