If Apple can't make a profit skimming 7.5% surcharge on billions of sales then they should get out of business of running an App Store and let someone else do it.

In a free market situation someone will build a thriving business with such economics.

Monopoly power over iOS users is the only reason Apple gets away with murder (i.e. skimming 30%).

It is a free market make your own OS and do whatever. Don't buy an iPhone etc.
