The fundamental question is of "rights". Do we apply 17th century morality and economic models for digital markets? Modern problems need modern solutions. We need to re-define where these "rights" of digital businesses come from.
Comcast invest millions and therefore has a "right" to control internet access, block websites, etc? Comcast "allows" a business to reach millions of customers.
Apple invested millions and therefore has a "right" to block third party payment processors? Apple "allows" a business to reach millions of customers.
Microsoft invested millions in their platform and there has a "right" to block Chrome/Firefox? Microsoft "allows" a business to reach millions of customers.
etc, etc.
Taking 30% of sales of a digital-only product is not morally acceptable to me.
