It’s not crazy. They are aggregating and organizing the buyers as a retailer. It is the same as if you sold a phone case in the Apple Store. Apple demands a margin for their value.
A more apt point of contention is whether or not you should have the right as a customer to install apps outside the App Store retail experience.
You can actually but it isn’t easy.
Another related issue is whether or not customers acquired outside the Apple store should yield a margin once installing an iPhone app.
Essentially the entire question is if the phone is a general purpose computer owned by the end user, the end user ought to have the right to install apps as they please without having to go through Apple.
