Am I not allowed to visit the Patreon website from my iOS device?


That horse has left the barn. But if there was a conceivable way and leverage to get a cut on paid content on the open internet, I'm sure apple would find a way to coerce money from those visits too.

One analogy: By offering only Fairplay DRM on iPhone, they get a cut that might otherwise have gone to Google (widevine), Microsoft (playready) or some other third party.


As long as Apple provides a standards-compliant web browser, of course you are.
