If Apple allowed other payment methods, that would incentivize developers not to go through Apple at all. Even paid apps would switch over to an unlock model in order to avoid the 30% cut.

So I think it's very unlikely that Apple will allow other payment options. It's more likely for their 30% to go down, but even that's questionable.

They can do something like Sign in with apple. If you are offering an alternative payment option, there should be an apple payment option too. If they are forced to do that Apple probably won't allow different pricing for it too.
