Ask HN: Why is iTunes not in the App Store?

2 points by Aaronn ↗ HN
Why is iTunes not on the Mac App Store? I believe it is pre-installed on Macs but what if the user deletes it but still needs it?

I know you can download it online here: https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

but wouldn't it be much easier if it was just in the app store?

The mac app store is a standalone app.
