In a time were operators where charging up to 90% for other stores.

Those with listings of SMS codes for which app to download, depending on the phone OS.

So it was a great deal back in 2008.

You are talking about phone apps, I'm talking about "software licenses sold over the internet".

If Apple adopted the 90%, they would still be criticized.

The fact remains that it was a very stupid system in 2008, and lowering the percentage doesn't obviate Apple's perverse incentives.
