Because all of them take a 30% cut (*some exceptions to certain apps apply)

What I mean is, if Apple's cut was lesser / we had different app stores, prices could potentially be up to 30% lesser.

They'd be cutting themselves out of other stores if they did that. Stores like Steam require that your game is sold at the same price across all stores otherwise it will be removed from Steam.

That is also a bad monopolistic practice we should be against. Apple isn't the only culprit.
