Ask HN: Why not decrease the 30% AppStore fee for small companies?

Its annoying to hell out of me. My sponsorship with Microsoft is running out, meaning I have to pay for the VM that my iOS app is running on.

If I subtract my server cost + 33% AppStore fee, there is not much profit left.

Why cant Apple give some slack to indie developers with low app income? 30% fee is way too much.

This duopoly in the smartphone market is very, very bad!
