Iirc it has to do with “monthly subscriptions” and they are arguing that Patreon is a monthly subscription and those get charged at the higher amount.

It’s why subscribing to YouTube premium within iOS app costs more because Google just makes up the difference that way.

Not that’s it’s right but it’s really debatable if Patreon should be considered a monthly subscription the same way streaming services are.
