It prevents suppliers from price discriminating (changing iOS users a premium) based on the fact that iOS users are more willing to pay up.

No. It prevents suppliers from price discriminating based on the fact that iOS has an associated 30% cost that the other platforms do not.
That cost goes directly to Apple. It protects Apple, not their consumers. Their consumers see no benefit from 30% of their cost, whether larger or smaller than the alternatives.
