It makes more sense to charge the end user of infrastructure to help pay for the development and maintenance of the infrastructure (fuel surcharges / iDevices cost money) than it does to charge the developers and maintainers of the infrastructure (the $99/yr). That's like charging mechanics for repairing cars or charging road workers for the privilege of repairing roads.
