The fact that if Apple ever copies you, they will have a 30% margin over you (& 15% after first year) with subscriptions. Not sure if you have them listed but Spotify made a big deal of this and even hired some animators to make this video:

As far as I understand Apple basically said, "we do the work to maintain the app store" which is true, but Spotify sure put a lot of effort into that video. 30% IMO is too high. Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19377322
