> Apple will collect a 30% rent on all economic activity
I understand that it might be a intentional hyperbole but Apple very clearly and universally charges the comission (which is 15% if rev under < $1M) on digital good purchases. They have not planned to charge for bank transfers as some commenters in the NFT case of Coinbase fearmongered or physical goods. It's only a fee on things that App Store and Apple clearly enabled you to deliver to people with their system - digital goods.
Not all laws exist to benefit you personally. It's a benefit to society to avoid a world where Apple will collect a 30% rent on all economic activity, kill of competition at a whim, and in general decide which products and product categories live and die.
