Is this the case for native iOS? I would love to forego the Apple toolchain and release obstacles and use stripe apis. But to suggest that a web solution is on par with a native app isn’t really a sound argument

It’s not on par in the slightest! Because Apple has spent (billions?) making their Native SDK, and it shows. But they do charge 30% for the privilege of using it to make commercial software.

  Yeah no. Commercial SDKs and toolchains existed before iOS; heck the OS itself is just a fork of Mac OS. There is no financial reason, other than massive profits, to charge 30% on every transaction.

    Those commercial SDKs to sell Symbian, J2ME and Windows CE apps in the mobile operators' stores were way higher than 30%.

      I developed Symbian and Windows CE apps and we distributed those bad boys the old fashioned way.
