I just don’t understand - where the 30% take away by store number is coming from and why giants are fighting tooth and nail to keep it.
Obviously I don’t know economics and costs behind it, but from very uninformed point of view it feels that even 10% would still give quite a profit to stores, even after processor fees.
IIRC Epic Games internally calculated that for their store the break-even point was around 9%. (They mostly run it as a loss leader at a default 12%, but with tons of giveaways and deals, so that percent can go as low as 0%.) So I think somewhere around 15-18% might feel “fair” to me, trying to take into account the value of the platform.

The first sentence already is obviously AI generated, and reading through it it, it is obviously completely written by AI to the point of it being distracting.
I understand the author probably feels that AI is better at writing than they are, but I would heavily recommend they use their own voice.
I’ve personally started to try to think about the points someone prompted an AI to generate some text (the actual thoughts of the author) so that I can more easily skim past the AI generated slop such as: "… you’ll get the env setup, required services, and dependency graph with citations to README, Dockerfile, and scripts, so you can hit the ground running".
