Define greed. Seriously, I'm asking for an objective definition, not just ipse dixit.
They're charging what the market will bear for a _vastly_ better product (iOS vs. Android).

It’s just not an apples to oranges comparison: One vendor is forcing use of their distribution services; the other just strongly nudges their customers to stay within their walled garden and not enable sideloading.
