Good. If I download an app with the intent to pay a content creator who uses that app to post content, I don’t see why my choice of app store should have any bearing on how much of that money goes to the content creator, nor why the company who hosts that app on their store should get any income from said internal payments whatsoever.
Patreon (and everyone else) already pays Apple to simply host the app in their store. Apple is double-dipping by doing this and throwing an absolute fit comparable to that of a toddler who was just told “no”.
Anyone who cares could have just gone to the website to make their payment but the real fucked up thing is that Apple ToS prevents them from disclosing that.
They did disclose it, though. I got popups every time I logged in for weeks warning of the imminent additional cut Apple was going to take from donators/creators, which explicitly spelled out that payments made via other platforms would not be affected by this cut.
Maybe they were prevented from doing so in the iOS app, but they sure did it everywhere else.

Yes that is what I was referring to.
Wow. That’s pretty shitty.
This is standard corpo parasitic behaviour…
Now apply this logic to health care and here we be 🤡
Yep.
The system isn’t broken; it’s working as intended.
