> You're perfectly entitled to distribute a macOS app with your own paywall

Are you sure the ToS allows that? Given the "anti-steering" rules? Can you point me to an example that isn't by a megacorp?

> $30 per month for 10GB of data in a recent offering I was looking at, and who knows where the data are

That's worse pricing than my mobile contract!

Isn't the "outside the app store" bit entirely new, and forced on them by the EU?
Doesn't change that if you distribute inside the app store, the app store rules ban you from any kind of external payment system.

  No it's always been like this.

  Yes because you're paying for the payment system amongst other things.
