$100 buy in. Yearly. (Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Opera... No license fees.)

There's a one-off $5 fee to publish things on the Chrome store.[1]

You're right.

But that one off fee seems incredibly negligible against Safari's fee, which is 20x larger... And yearly. For smaller marketshare.

Yeah, Chrome's fee seems more like a gate-keeping cost to ensure that the store doesn't get spammed or abused, not an attempt of Google by generate revenue.
