Shouldn't flagging it be sufficient?

People seem to be downvoting me. Was my comment incorrect? If so, I'd love to know.
The logo he's using is not the AppStore logo. It's the logo for a generic app with no custom icon on macOS. That said, apple still own that logo, and might have an issue with it.
Edit: In fact, thinking about it some more, it's very clearly much closer to the App Store logo than anything else. It's literally the white silhouette design from the logo (as opposed to the colored non-sillhouete version from generic app icons), placed on a blue button that's similar to the app store logo's blue background.

> give my credit card to a random website that will probably get hacked in the next 12 months Pretty much everyone takes PayPal which shields you from this
Or uses stripe which hides your real card number from the merchant. The annoyance of adding a card is one thing but fear of an app developer getting hacked and exposing your card doesn't strike me as a very strong reason.

I think the choice is between using a solid platform like the App Store or something like it, or building your own using tools that won't go away either. Stripe, PayPal, things like that. It takes a lot of effort to build out your own store and get it right, this is no small task, which is why the 30% fee charged by these stores is not necessarily the biggest obstacle. These intermediaries add considerable risk.
I'm not even sure we can assume Stripe won't go away, and Paypal has shown itself to be anything but dependable (sure it'll accept a payment but will you definitely get the money?) Edit: Sorry I know those were just two examples - I'm not trying to refute your point
For example, you can bang together your own store with Magento, Spree, or any number of other ecommerce store kits and pick one or more back-ends without a whole lot of sweat. This presumes you know a thing or two about web development and security, which is not necesarily a given for any group of developers. If you do know that, the difference between Stripe or PayPal is a few lines of configuration and API keys, if that.

I think when coupled like this, "[logo] buy" it gives the impression of "something apple". Personally I thought that it would either open the app store, or that is was something related to Apple pay (although that one needs "[logo] Pay"). It felt a bit misleading.
I think you are talking about the top right not the button?

It's literally the app store logo minus the circle. But you're right, the same icon is also used as part of the generic app placeholder icon. In either case, it does still belong to Apple.

The folder on my mac uses that icon for Applications.
