Even if you leave Apple ecosystem, you are still subject to it. Consumers don't like paying different prices based on the platform they are using.
Manufacturers sell things at different prices all of the time. Spotify even sold subscriptions at different prices when they did allow in app subscriptions.
On a side note, I am so surprised that so many people see this as a fight between Apple and developers. They view the Apple tax as something developers pay and thus is developers' problem, not theirs. Like any tax, ultimately, we the consumers end up paying it
Yes consumers pay retailers mark up and not wholesale. News at 11
