And you calculated that how?

  It's a level that state would take to take care for roads, healthcare, civil service, army and so on. There is no justification for such high % to maintain an app. They could charge per app review and maybe the data transfer fee no more than Amazon S3. Anything else is Apple abusing their monopoly. Developer can't submit their app to an alternative app store because Apple doesn't allow that and it must change.

    It's not 'maintain' - its offer all the services that come along with it (integrations, store, download, hosting, authentication). If you produce a food product, you should expect the store to take a cut of the price before it gets to you.

      These things that you listed are not that expensive to run. If you produce a food product you can also set up your own store, but you can't in case of Apple.

        You probably upvoted that guy who was sure he could build Dropbox in a weekend.

          Dropbox is great. But Apple bans its customers and app developers from using Dropbox as an an app delivery system.

    Unlike a commercial company a state is not for-profit enterprise. Maybe you think that app stores shouldn't be for-profit marketplaces either?

      The state is not-for-profit because it is a monopoly. Like Apple.
