This is what grasps the main point here. Apple wants money for something they do not provide anything in turn. They have no more right to claim any (not even 0.1%) share from transactions on their device than Windows or Linux do from transactions on those platform. This idea is ridiculous. There is simply no value added on the mere fact that the purchase happened on iOS instead of a Linux based PC. The result is the same.
Taking money for nothing is a criminal act at least morally but it should be so legally too.
