Apple doesn't have the power to do it themselves. They're asking the labels to put the screws to the other streaming sites.
I think that's why this may have slightly more traction:

Apple charges a 30 percent fee toward any sales through its App Store, and that includes subscription services. That means if Spotify wants to sell its premium subscription service — which usually costs $9.99 a month — through the App Store, it has to raise the price 30 percent higher to $12.99 to pull in the same revenue, while Apple can still offer Beats at a lower price. Spotify and many others in the music industry believe Apple’s App Store tax gives them an unfair advantage over the competition.

"I get that there’s some administrative burden so they should get some kind of fee, but 30 percent is fucking bullshit," one music industry source said.
