See, here is what I do not understand. According to everything I have read--including things from Apple and on various dev forums--Apple has always restricted in-app purchases.
According to your post, Amazon is calling something that has always (apparently) been a part of the contract. so Amazon is not being truthful in that they are blaming Apple by calling this a recent change.
To be fair to Apple, Amazon apparently broke the rules and violated Apple's TOS.
The "recent change" is that "law enforcement" (Apple) has recently decided to enforce this "law" that was already "on the books" but being ignored by scofflaw Amazon.
