So does Steam but Apple is the only one getting any flak for it. Turns out that running a global distribution network shipping billions of apps/updates daily, testing them, providing payment processing etc costs quite a bit of money.

On Windows you can purchase games skipping a fee-incurring store altogether.

Apple is the one one getting flak for it because there's no other choice. You are forced to use their store.

No you’re not. No one forced you to buy a Mac.
