In many platforms it's not worth the effort, or the native payment method is actually cheaper than any potential competitor

  Curious to know which platforms have lower fees than doing it yourself.

    It depends on the effort needed to "do it yourself" which is a lot if you're accounting many many tiny transactions. There's definitely a market there, or at least there was during the FB games era.

    Taking direct payments is absolutely insane if you're a small developer. I mean, have fun accounting for zillions of tax laws in every country in the world. 30% is a lot, but considering all the other services you get, it's not particularly unreasonable. For big companies, sure, you have accountants and lawyers and your own infrastructure, so you don't need any of that stuff.
