    It pays for the development of system apis, update infrastructure, software deployment infrastructure, software development sdks and toolkits, among a bunch of other very expensive to maintain infrastructure. There’s the argument to be made to force them to allow competition, but I don’t think you can call it robbery from an informed 10000 foot view because everything they provide is extremely expensive and extensively technical to host/construct on your own.

      Which doesn’t justify a cut of a 30%. I’m not saying they shouldn’t charge anything, but this is at usurious levels.
