That 30% is on more than $60B/yr for apple. Are you suggesting that their overhead for running app store is anywhere within even a couple orders of magnitude of $20B/yr?

I'm suggesting that, compared to what you'd pay to do these things for yourself, 30% is a steal. There's a reason people are ok with paying it.
