I’m not sure if it’s a monopoly, but a stronghold for sure. I’m not seeing how Apple’s behavior is any different than that of other players who have a stronghold in their markets though? It’s exactly the same with $10.000 rents in San Francisco or super expensive country clubs where you can mingle/deal with fellow rich people: it’s expensive to get access to a scarce resource. Apple has the scarce resource (people willing to pay for apps) so they charge you a lot of money to access it (30% of your revenue).
