developers can offer other payment options outside the App Store, but they still need to pay Apple a 27% fee. In addition, they have to follow some guidelines to promote an external link while also reporting to Apple about every purchase made through this external link so the company can charge a fee.

I think the meeting at Apple when they were discussing this must have gone something like Well how hard can we fuck them before their arsehole ruptures? A bit more? Sure let's go for it. Lube? Nah we don't need that.

Tim Cook is not British, and would say "asshole." Kindly get your facts straight before posting on the interwebs, sir/madam/other. /s
