Don't forget that Apple is reaping 30% fees on all software sold on its platforms. It's not just a little bit of money btw, the fees taken off the app store are very nearly 100% profit and are currently running somewhere in the hundreds of millions of dollars per year range. Let the app store grow for a few more years and app store fees could easily account for 10% or more of Apple's profits. And isn't the review process totally and completely necessary because it justifies this fee structure? Tradeoff or not, capturing those rents is a major concern for Apple. It's not ending any time soon, and it's not a mistake on their part.
