I can also buy games from other places than Steam. I cannot install iPhone apps I download online. That little detail changes the situation entirely.

I don't care what Apple charges if I can install a binary without dealing with their store.

Apple's counter argument is that it's possible to sideload apps.

You just have to use a mac to do it and need to reinstall them every 7 days.
