Sure. Just as long as you agree Google and Apple let others do the work and investment to develop new games, apps and media, then swoop in and demand a cut if the risk and investment pay off.

They don't automatically take a cut, they only take a cut when you want to sell to their captive audience, on their hardware, using their distribution system.

Their hardware, huh?

You're right, customers don't really own an iphone, even if they've paid $1000 for it.

Surely in context, and reading the most charitable interpretation, you understood that the hardware I was referring to isn’t the end user’s device.
