I don't know if that's true in this case but this is a very common practice even with big greedy corporations that could definitely afford eating the fee (except many of them have just completely removed in-app subscriptions on Android and iOS already). This is exactly why it's great to have a choice: if you're fine with paying a 30% fee on every single subscription for the peace of mind Google provides (protecting your payment details, easy cancellation, etc.) then that's your choice. But if you would rather cut costs and you trust the developer or are willing to risk it (generally banks will protect you from fraud anyway), you have the choice of direct payment.
