Is it better for them to remove the app altogether and have users on Apple forced to use it through the website?

Yes. Clearly yes, for everyone. This sort of shit only continues because people don't do that.

I would imagine this would lead to having less users. Or people that use it less. It would also make the experience for users worse. As such it would lead to less subscriptions. It is not clear to me that this would be better. I'm not sure on whether it would be worse, but I doubt it'd be better for everyone.
