Is it easier for customers to go to a website to download a demo version? This is happening now with MAS.
Or to use in-app purchases to unlock features? (I can get apps with subscriptions ffs, but not get upgrade pricing or free demos with a single activation fee that is diffrentiated from in-app purchases.)
Is it easier for customers to pay full price for a new version instead of getting upgrade pricing? Similarly is it better to force long-term customers to pay full price if you migrate to the app store?
Is it easier for customers to have to install betas from the developer in order to deploy a hot-fix that's stuck in the approval pipeline?
Now, I realize that in a perfect world developers would maintain their software for existing customers and sell new features as in-app purchases, but this is the real world, and sometimes you want to do major changes and not worry about how to shoehorn it into the MAS policy. And, of course, Apple doesn't have to eat its own dogfood here.
