Totally different. The goal here is to maximize my profit and minimize my expenses.

Then don't be surprised that Apple works to maximize their profits too. Which neatly answers the question why Apple does pricing like that.

It's not different, both are price discrimination. If they cut the price for the expensive products' apps, they'll have to raise it for the inexpensive products' apps. If the inexpensive products can't afford it, they won't have an app.

Do you think that isn't the goal for Apple?
