There's a lot of negativity on this thread. It is understandable when you cynically look at this as just a PR move that will cost them less in the long run if it helps with current and future antitrust investigations.
But what a lot of folks are missing is how much this will help indie-developers and small businesses that want to pay themselves and their employees better and more easily put food on the table.
So while we can still be critical of the current app store limitations and costs - let's still celebrate a move in the right direction and something that is going to enable a lot of people to live better lives.
