The AppStore isn't just a payment gateway. It's essentially a retail store. You would be hard pressed to get to keep 70% from many other retailers.

70% is about right, give or take. Depends on the industry. But retailers certainly don't ever take only 3% like payment gateways do.

This whole 30% thing comes from a new demographic that has never had any previous experience with business, who don't really understand the value of distribution channels and middlemen.
