It depends. The fee applies only if Mozilla opts into the "new terms". You’re right that it if Mozilla chooses the new terms, they have to pay the fee on the app store too. But they are allowed to stay on the old terms and still offer "real" Firefox. In this case they pay nothing.

From https://daringfireball.net/2024/01/apples_plans_for_the_dma:

"Stay in App Store under the current (pre-DMA) rules, exclusively. Developers that take this option: Are not permitted to use any of the new business terms available in the EU, but new iOS platform options for the EU, such as alternate browser engines, are allowed. (Because they are required to be allowed.)"

Genuinely curious: people throw around the term „malicious compliance“ a lot. It seems the platform fee is explicitly allowed by the DMA, so Apple demands it. Again, I am not trying to troll but what would „benevolent compliance“ look like and what would Apple‘s incentive be to give up the fee?

I only ever used hono as a simple convenience router for my cloudflare functions. This feels ambitious. I’m a bit skeptical if this is the right direction frankly, I hope it doesn’t make the framework too bloated.

While I like the idea, it seems to take a lot of thought and attention to detail to pull it off. Thinking about the 3D globe from Stripe and GitHub, and corresponding blog posts. First thing I checked on your post was the final landing page. It doesn’t look great on mobile, takes really long to load even on a good internet connection, and it’s impossible to scroll, once the 3D content has been loaded.
