I agree with you about the control aspect, but.

> On windows nothing much is on the store mostly because people don't want to give Microsoft 30% on Linux charging 30% is downright impossible because people would trivially publish an alternative source instead.

Most package managers on Linux do not provide any sort of revenue stream. The comparison only holds when the software is free, at which point '30%' is $0.

The main exception I'm aware of, the elementaryOS app center, provides a worse deal. Same 70/30 split for $2 charges, but it's 50/50 on a $1 charge.
