It just does not make sense. They are measuring themselves with double standards. On one side they want to defend their App Store tax and its immense height by counting usage of APIs, the store's distribution bandwidth etc. as value the developer pays for via commissions. On the other side they advertise to the world how many millions of free apps they have in their store. Either those free apps are somehow not using any of their IP, not consuming any bandwidth and not using any support resources, or the entire argument is BS.
