Spotify directly laid out its concerns towards Apple’s AppStore terms in front of EU officials.
The Apple tax? Sucks. The Apple gatekeeping model that cleverly convinces users that Apple is the go-to solution? Also sucks. That’s a really quick and rephrased TL;DR of Spotify’s requests during a stakeholders workshop organized by the European Union .
But like all solid arguments in life, this too is a coin. And on the other hand, Apple’s continuous stance has a good reason behind its unyielding nature: privacy and security. If the floodgates become opened, we can’t possibly trust every developer out there to not try and take advantage of the situation to extort users through data theft. And that’s just one item on Apple’s list of concerns.
As an additional bit of context, all of this is regarding the EU’s Digital Marketing Act — the very same document that made us excited to see an iPhone with a USB-C charging port. The event at which Spotify expressed its concerns was related to overall app store — as in, not only on iOS — concerns, but the music streaming service’s Gene Burrus, Director of Global Competition Policy, didn’t miss the opportunity to take a direct approach.
