Does Apple take their customary cut? I am not interested in "donating" to Apple.

They do.
Ever use a credit card to make a donation anywhere?
Apple's cut is a hell of a lot more than 2.9% + $0.30.
Never said it wasn't? Just pointing out how silly this stance is.
Balking at the difference between 30% and 3% is just as silly to you as balking at the difference between 3% and 0%?
Yes, because the balk is at the concept not the amount.
Busting somebody's balls because they're not abstracting away something as significant as 27% seems unreasonable. It shouldn't surprise you that somebody who dislikes giving 30% to apple would be proportionally less concerned about giving 3% to Visa.
