AFAIK, MSFT still takes 12% of PC game sales in the windows store, and 30% of sales in the xbox store.

Which is fine because there is ample competition on Windows and MS does very little to hamper it (as far as the DMA is concerned).

Apple would also be allowed to charge whatever they want in the app store if there were actual competition on the platform.

Since there isn't they have to play by the rules.

In store yes, on platform no. Like Steam makes what hundreds of millions with no cut to MS.
