> Am I not buying "a safe, checked app"?

I wouldn't presume that. Malware ends up in the app store all the time.

I was merely re-iterating the marketing from Apple on why they charge the 30%.

I personally think it's a lie at best, or a scam (on multinational level) at worst. I've always been convinced that regulation should force companies that make such statements to be held responsible. Treat them like an insurance company or such.

I pay a few dollars every month to be protected against scams and malware. So when I do get infected, Apple failed to do what I paid it for and Apple should be forced to pay me for damages.
