It's how you end up with 2 million apps in the store but you still can't find what you need.

Developers already pay to be on the App Store each year, and developers pay to be on the Play Store.

Thats not meant to cover the cost of distribution of the app nor the associated per use costs. Thats paying for access to developer services.
No one - no one - wants that. Free apps suddenly won't be free when they have to pay to be on the App Store. Its so easy to create an app and share it, and that is a good thing. The end result of apps costing money (even though free apps have nearly a 0 marginal cost to distribute) is that you'll end up with less apps and/or more ads and data tracking (also proposed to be regulated away) and/or a subscription service that bundles free apps to cover the cost.
