Apple is locking down the iPhone App Store to comply with a new law in China

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
That doesn't make any sense at all. If 10% of apps are not getting users in china anymore then there's fewer subscriptions and in-app purchases apple is getting a cut of (and we all know the actual math will be far harsher since china has a vested interest in blocking the most popular apps)
The apps getting removed weren’t popular apps there in the first place
The most popular apps here have never been the most popular apps there
Yes, the CCP is trying to cut them off before they become popular, but it’s better for Apple to get money from the currently popular apps there
