Your flat fee model would really suck for free apps.

  Nobody stops Apple from offering an alternative "if your app is 100% free then there are no fees for you at all", beside the 100$/year they already have to pay.

  Advertisements in apps is a way to circumvent the app store fee currently, yes. That is bad, it means that ads pay close 50% more compared to selling apps compared to what they should, meaning Apples policy likely massively increased the number of ad based apps compared to purchasable apps. Forcing them to pay their fair share makes sense for everyone.

  There's already a flat fee for free apps (the developer fees), and every customer has already paid a flat fee (buying the phone)

    We are talking about a flat fee per app delivery here.
