Apple was the first to lead with this egregious fee

Before that carriers had much higher fees when you sold J2ME apps on feature phones through thier store.

What type of customers or market sectors bought those apps?

The same types of customers. For instance, back in the day around 2003-2006 Sprint sold J2ME games and apps that once you purchased them, you could redownload them on new phones.
