Apple does not take a cut of this. It's charged to your existing payment method on file. It's closer to a physical good, since it's an enhancement for an actual physical good.

Perhaps we should be selling dummy physical goods with our software then. E.g. software $1, coffee mug $100.

The mug has your personal QR code on it! It's unique!

Some of the big loot box mobile games in fact use this model to pull in more revenue - they sell soundtracks or other goods at marked-up prices that happen to include in-game bonuses you'd otherwise be giving Apple 30% for.
