Apple pioneered a new sales and marketing pipeline, and gave it extremely low barriers to adoption for both consumers and developers. None of apple's competitors have been able to produce a competing service (based on community size), and until that happens apple will see no competitive pricing pressure to reduce their fees.
The cost to run in apple's app store probably won't stay at 30% forever, but won't change until it faces real competition.
