DSQL only uses Postgres for the query processor layer, so it doesn't require a replication library within postgres itself. Definitely NOT from DSQL.

Rather, DSQL seems to do its region replication using the distributed journal abstraction [2].
even possible with a some of them, but even in that case they're usually not "refunding" as much as they're just "making a new transaction for the same anount the other way" which does the same at the surface until reversals, voids or rejections happen and it all becomes a mess.
...Apple makes revenue on the devices? On any monthly subscriptions you take with them? On the developers paying for licenses?
And let's not act as if people would use iOS if they couldn't have their apps. It is so much of a net gain to Apple to allow people to develop their apps there's a good chance it's indirectly profitable without any direct revenue from IAP's.
Yeah I'm starting to think they aren't aware of the shell game in their own rhetoric. If nothing can ever be wrong then nothing is right either in that worldview.
