I hate paying it... but let’s be honest. Before app stores and the hardware & phone OS’s they run, mobile apps weren’t a thing.

The justification is the distribution, curation, promotion, updates, support, etc. The massive infrastructure needed to deliver the latest & greatest mobile tech, the APIs that let developers take advantage of it, native payment processing, tax reporting, etc.

You don’t even need an LLC to go into business for yourself. That’s huge and worth 30% IMHO.
