Maybe Apple and Google should be paying app makers instead considering how much more valuable their phones become BECAUSE of apps. If there was perfect competition between more than two OS makers, I'd predict the charge would be closer to 0. Without it, we can only stab into the air to guess what the real clearing price would be.

For IOS, that would make sense but the play store is basically the only way (with the recent EU fine) that google can make money on android.

  Android is a platform that allows Google to target advertising and collects user data. The original intent was to make sure mobile users use Google products. They can and do make money from that.
