Once you buy a car, it’s yours, so you shouldn’t have to pay gas companies 100% of all fuel transactions you ever use to drive it anywhere.

Apps are the lifeblood of a smartphone. Everyone who buys an iPhone knows they’ll be spending money on apps too, and the 30%, or 15%, or free or whatever is hardly a secret to those that care about it.

The manufacturer of your car doesn't get a 30% cut of the price of the fuel it uses.

There's a case for Apple taking a cut on app sales themselves. There's a lot less of a case for them taking such a giant cut of sales within the apps.

Obviously they can, but in my opinion it's an absurdly high cut.
