I can download an .apk directly from a developer if Google doesn't want to host it on the app store. I've done this, for example, with the Betfair app.

That's a pretty huge difference.

You are talking about a difference in platforms, not in stores and services they provide. Pretty much all the app stores on all the platforms charge 30%. They also offer substantially the same services.
