Why would Facebook care about the 30%? They care about being allowed to track users (as Google does).

Because 30% is big money. FB might be able to compensate enough, but plenty of apps can't. There should have been enough pull to have a SpotifyStore and an UberStore, or even a SpotifyUberStore. Yet it doesn't happen at all.

What is Google charging Facebook 30% for? In-app transactions?
