>>They have a large team providing developer support and developer tools. Many devs would disagree with you here, Apple Dev support while better than Google is not much better. It is normal large faceless company with impersonal legal responses not customer service >>They host and distribute petabytes of data. ... They do all these things for free if you distribute free apps ... Ohh cry me a river... They made that choose so they could CONTROL the echosystem, they then can not turn around and claim this a bullshit justification for their fee extortion. They do not give anyone the option to use anything other than apple for app distribution so no I will not give them points for this >but also clearly it wouldn’t be able to remotely cover these costs at 5%, their break even is closer to 15%. Show me the money.... Show me the citation for that claim >>Developers long for the day some government or court will force Apple to reduce their profit share I long for the day when the government or courts ban Close ecosystems and stop allowing companies treat a product they SOLD to customers as if they still own it there by merely renting it out
