It's interesting to see this randomly thrown out, I'm curious if there's any basis for this? Epic Games currently takes 12% and five years later they're still unable to turn a profit. That's for a store that wrote a brand new launcher that's worse than Steam's and they don't have nearly half the features Steam does.
I believe Humble takes 5% and they're also not doing that well.
5% would hardly even cover the CC fees. Not to mention refunds.
