Steam isn't manufacturing computers. This is about Apple the computer manufacturer. It's unfair for them to lock their computers/phones down so people can't install software without Apple's permission.
The App Store is more or less a red herring here (relevant only to the 30% fee being too much).

Otherwise we'd see Android on iPhones, legally-mandated Facebook integration on everything, custom car firmware etc.
