> But I've never understood why Apple feels entitled to a cut of in-app purchases.
You mean besides maintaining and securing the entire distribution network and ecosystem that makes such apps profitable in the first place?

Apple keeps iOS desirable to an enormous number of end users who are willing to spend money on apps.
They benefit from this by selling a lot of iPhones, but the developers benefit as well by having a market to target.
But they can’t get a cut of in-app payments, especially for Kindle stuff.
Also, what if I say for every user who buys an autogram card they get premium of the app for free?
Is that enough to get around them getting a cut?
This is a big legal issue.
