I agree. It's not possible to do.

But that being said, if the AppStore were somehow spun off into a separate company, I think their costs would be less than 10% or even 5% of the cut that Apple takes from the AppStore sales. I'm sure I could run it at those costs.

Still, it's fair for Apple to want the cut they take from the App store revenues. I totally get their position. They built a great product and platform. They deserve to reap the rewards.

Are you counting the surely enormous amount you would have to pay Apple for the privilege of being the App Store?

The 'somehow' assumes we have some way of deciding which costs should be borne by this separate entity. But we've already agreed that's not possible!
