30% is the same amount Google takes from the Play Store.
Also, OP is stating that the only reason people buy iOS is because they're some kind of idiot fashionista sheeple etc. I was merely pointing out that there are compelling reasons to prefer iOS beyond, I dunno, the magic mind-control powers of the ghost of Steve Jobs.

"30% is the same amount Google takes from the Play Store."
Except that developers don't need to use the App Store a sales/distribution mechanism.
It's like saying "In one country, there is only one car, and it is $50 000". In another country, the same car exists, and yes, there are other $50 000 cars ... but there are also any number of other choices.
And FYI even Google is engaging in anticompetitive practices.
Both platforms should be required to allow the installation of any app vendor point they want as the default app store.
30% is outrageous and basically no developers want to pay it.
Were it 10%, all those things you mention would remain the same.
