Actually it looks more like apple want the link replaced with a means that forces people to use apple's own in-app purchasing leading to many companies being forced to pull their apps entirely because it becomes financially non-viable to stay on there.
Comically we have seen some articles that have felt the need to white knight this change by apple by talking about how it is worth it due to the increased number of users a particular service would gain, but this idea falls down when you consider such simple sums as many x 0 = 0 or many x -ve = larger -ve which would be the reality for many services that enhance the current ipad ecosystem.
