This raises and interesting point:

Would consumers be better served if app developers had to pay the Google tax, the Apple tax aaaaaand the Microsoft tax, the Samsung tax, the HTC tax, etc etc etc?

Yes, because if there was competition, that "tax" would likely be lower. For instance, Microsoft's fees for one-off purchases are just half of what Apple/Google are charging.
