This is somewhat tautological, because the AppStore is necessarily filtered down to businesses that can exist within this fee structure.
The cut is 15-30% of revenue, rather than profit, so for lower-margin businesses Apple's cut can be larger than their own profits.
And I care as a user, because developers aren't subsidizing Apple – this fee is ultimately paid by me, and I don't have much choice outside the Google-Apple duopoly.
