I disagree. It’s not that Apple wants 30%, it’s that they get away with it.

For most companies, such a demand would be fine, legally (suicidal, but fine. Companies are free to make stupid decisions)

30% has been an industry standard for digital sales for a long time, long before Apple adopted it.

Which is what EU intends to fix.

Fine, so long as they “fix it” for everyone. Whatever rules they come up with must be universally applied. That includes for Sony and Microsoft and the game console online stores.
