  They don't mind.

  As they don’t for all the other digital-content purchases they have taken 30% for many years already. Which is why we have been getting great UX like being unable to buy books in the Kindle app.

    Yeah. I get charging for hosting an app in your store, that requires work to build the ecosystem and security and stuff. But you have to draw the line on a platform and ecosystem and vetting that someone else has done. What did apple do to build kindles library of books? What did apple do to attract creators that patreon's users would like to support? Nothing. They should get 30% for installing paid apps that they are vetting and hosting, but nothing for things third parties are hosting and vetting
