Not only Apple charges their tax but they decide if you can distribute your iOS code to users. You can work for a year on an app for iPhone or iPad and then not be able to distribute it if Apple doesn't want to. This is not even hypothetical. Apple owns 30% of your business but has 100% control of it.

> You can work for a year on an app for iPhone or iPad and then not be able to distribute it if Apple doesn't want to. Happened to my company. At the time they had no guidelines on sending "tips" digitally, and when we asked for an exception (before building) we were granted it. Submission day, rejected. Cue 3 months of back and forth, which ended with "yeah, you gotta use IAP for that, and we're gonna take 30% from the tips."
