Are the various cuts (both sale, and in-game) for each platform known, either informally or publicly?

Everyone is 30%, always has been

Xbox, Playstation, Steam, Google, Apple, they're all 30%.

Due to Epic's pressure Steam already offering lower fees for more than two years now. Both Sony and Microsoft are also likely to make custom deals for popular titles the same way as they allowed them to have cross-play.

Tactics Epic using might look dishonest from outside, but it's will really help industry long-term.

Not everyone. Epic Games Store is 12%, Humble Store is 5% and itch.io lets the developer choose.
