I did a short stint for a startup in Korea whose top investor wanted us to get around Apple and Google's 30% cut. After explaining the ToS and how the exemptions didn't apply to us, she set up a meeting with developers from another company she invested in. Those devs, with great smiles on their faces, proceeded to show a remote config that toggled which payment flow a user went through, depending on whether the app version was currently pending review
And for those who don't view government regulations as sacred, the regulation in question was designed to limit how much poison everyone has to breathe, while Apple and Google payment rules are designed to make more profit for those companies.
