Having said that what happens when Apple decides that other services like Dropbox, Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, etc which are subscription based but offer access to their service through dedicated apps should pay as well. While some of them could probably be resonably useful through the web, others may not be so.

Apple has to balance satisfying customers with making money. If Apple's moves end up hurting service, it would hurt its own business. Businesses do shoot themselves in the foot sometimes, of course. As a customer, I'm always prepared to take my money elsewhere. I don't worry about those types of scenarios. Shrug. It's businesses' job to satisfy customers. If they can't, someone else can.
