Apple also insists that you must use their payment services, you can't use a competitor's. the policies are designed so that they get a cut of all revenue in the ecosystem, that's effectively a tax.

This isn't strictly true. Plenty of iOS apps use e.g. Stripe for payment processing, including the last company I worked for. The App Store billing/subscriptions requirement is only for apps providing strictly digital goods/services. Google has the same policy on the Play store.

Yes, you can. Put your app on Android. Done.
