"Whatever the market will bear" requires a healthy market place with a range of options. Like residential internet in the USA, mobile app stores are not a healthy market place. If you use iOS, Apple has a monopoly, and there is no scope for any other market places by design. If you use Android, Google has a monopoly. There is scope for other market places, but Google has a dominant monopoly that is unlikely to go anywhere else. There are no other mobile appstores of consequence. There's little reason for the incumbents to reduce their prices, as there is little-to-no scope for any competition that requires it.
