I'd like to see some sort of a breakdown of how Apple uses the 30% to improve the app store. Even if they were spending 15% of that cut on improving iTunes Connect etc. it would've shown.

This is a list of some of the benefits of the App Store. The idea is not that every developer may want/need every feature, but think how much it would cost a developer to implement each one by themselves. - 24/7 worldwide availability, instant payment/download - Easy re-install after deletion, you still own the app even if deleted - Region restriction - Separate app pricing by region - Revenues paid to developer from multiple region currencies without conversion fees - Tax calculation and collection - Customer refunds - User rankings and reviews - App store advertising in category listings - Video previews of the app in operation - Packaging of media content allowing developers the ability to load game levels as the user needs them rather than all at once - App sales stats

  > Easy re-install after deletion, you still own the app even if deleted It’s not universal. I’ve lost access to several apps that I had paid for—and that’s not even getting into iOS 11 incompatibility.
