I have the exact opposite point of view, they are my customers and Apple is simply a middleware which is blocking access to them.
They only get their cut through very questionable and borderline illegal practices as seen in the EU.
Maybe if they had to actually justify their cut in a real market, they would improve the sad state of their dev tools, that could start to somehow justify the cuts.
Notice that they forbid any display of the Apple tax anywhere, that could be a marketing issue if Apple customers start to understand what's going on.
