It is the definition of rent. The cost is that I have to run your software on my device. I could create value for myself by running software of my choice, instead Apple destroys that value to create a percentage of it for themselves.
Apple pretends to value user privacy and artist rights as these values often conveniently align with taking away user and partner control. The mask has slipped multiple times but their control over users never will until they are legally required to treat their users like humans.

I could create value for myself by running software of my choice This is an outright Orwellian redefinition of the term. > Apple pretends to value user privacy and artist rights as these values often conveniently align with taking away user and partner control.

Ah, so you have an axe to grind against Apple and could not care less about the stone, got it.
