"30% is the same amount Google takes from the Play Store."

Except that developers don't need to use the App Store a sales/distribution mechanism.

It's like saying "In one country, there is only one car, and it is $50 000". In another country, the same car exists, and yes, there are other $50 000 cars ... but there are also any number of other choices.

And FYI even Google is engaging in anticompetitive practices.

Both platforms should be required to allow the installation of any app vendor point they want as the default app store.
