I don't see any particular reason why this service would have to remain at a 40% markup in perpetuity. That's just where the sweet spot is right now.

Apple's rules are restricted to subscriptions and in-app purchases of virtual goods. They currently have no stance on purchases of real goods. See the Amazon App, Pizza Hut app, etc. for examples.

They actually have a hard stance that you cannot use in-app payments to pay for real goods.
