To continue with the bad highway comparison, apple don't own the phone, the phone owner does. Apple don't own and run the infrastructure behind the 3rd party apps, their developer does.
So, back to the highway, you pay a 30% cut to drive on the highway they don't own for them to run a car dealership without allowing anybody else to run one and reviewing cars offered in the dealership with an arbitrary process.
Taking 30% off buying an app, why not. It's insanely expensive but that's their dealership.
Taking 30% off subscriptions makes absolutly no sense.
I'm really happy that someone start to look into it and if they are not happy with it they can always do what they told many other business to do "change their business model"
