Because Google is providing an ecosystem platform of billions of customers to the app developer.
Think of it this way, without the App Store, would the app developer be able to make more than 100B earnings? There's very little incentive for Google and Apple to reduce the cut on their platform, doing so can cause an escalating chain of events that would reduce their revenue and significantly impact their key stakeholders.
- Alupis 6y agoThat still doesn't make any sense. I could use your same argument - without all the App Developers making Apps, would Google's App store make any money at all? No, of course not. See Windows Mobile, as an example of what happens with an empty ecosystem.
- smolyeet 6y agogoogle and apple developed their os and app store and made it enticing to users. difference here js that you don’t HAVE to use googles app store, other app stores exist but they make it easy and supported it over the last decade+. i don’t know how much they deserve but they at least have made it worth a developers while to support it. developers need the store for exposure more than google needs the developers, theres always someone willing to developer and their store seems more open than apples
