Part of the point here is that you can run a secure store with quality controlled apps by charging companies to appear in the App Store.
That charge cannot POSSIBLY be 30% of sales. Not least because the cost of checking the apps that go into the App store is not in any way related to the revenue the app generates.
The charges for appearing in the store come from Google (a monopoly in the smartphone market in most places) rent-seeking.
