Apples to oranges. Retailers don't force suppliers to give them a 30% cut of every sale. Retailers don't prevent suppliers from selling with other retailers. Retailers have competition and cannot abuse their monopoly, even if they can acquire a monopoly position.

You have it backwards. Apple is the retailer. Retailers do take 30%+ of every sale. Have you seen retail markups?

Some do.

I've bought plenty of products that explained their fee structure built into pricing. There are also plenty of stores that also explain their processor fees.

From big box national stores?
I occasionally see MSRP price printed on packaging, which is sometimes mis-matched with the store I'm at - its usually convenience stores and other similar places that add extra markup for high-demand items (and usually you know what to expect).
