Walmarts cut is largely based on their costs to stock and sell the item. Appstores costs are not related to the cut they take as they have >80% profit margin.

Is it though? Or is it based on the value the seller gets?

It's both of course, but I think they price based on the value rather than on the cost. (ie: percentage of sales, not per shelfspace)
