Well, that's common law for you.

Most of the world has continental law where most of these things would be written in a law somewhere and unenforceable through TOS as those provisions would be deemed in conflict with the law and therefore void.

Duh. Same goes for Steam games and most of digital content.

If you want to keep it, there's usually always an option to sail the high seas.

Well, it's similar to how American bands go on a "World tour" which includes 30 US cities and maybe London and Paris, if they have a good day.

Not to be sarcastic, but 'global', 'world' and similar terms seem to be in the eye of the beholder. 🤨

None of this account for differences in purchasing power and phone price.

If you have an $150 Android device, I would of course expect you to spend way less on software than somebody with a $1500 iPhone.

I'm not saying 'develop for Android only' but if your business relies on one ecosystem only, you're at a higher risk and you're leaving money on the table.

Well, they have limited themselves to single point of failure.

That's like selling only blue shoelaces and then crying faul when your only supplier stops making blue color.

If your livelihood depends on one account only, you are in great risk anyhow.

That sounds like anecdotal evidence. Android is more popular in more than half of the world and a lot of apps are successful and generate income on both platforms.

Just FYI. Both news sites that are blocked in Slovenia are well know for being quite (far?) right news outlets.

So your mileage may vary.

What do you mean 'Croatia is not even a directly neighboring country anymore'?

Last I checked, Croatia and Hungary still share almost 350 km of border.

Pirate Party in Slovenia did not qualify for elections. They needed the support of 1.000 constituents, but when the officials did the count they only had 970 signatures.

What I'm saying is - your mileage my vary.
