They do actually get a cut if you pay with Apple Pay.

They do charge additional fees, just not to customers. Those fees get tacked onto the bank/merchant in the transaction. Apple charges between 0.15% to 0.30% of total transaction, according to Financial Times.

No additional fees is not incompatible with getting a cut. e.g. they could take some of the card issuer's portion.
