That’s how the system works. You don’t expect Walmart to not get a commission when you sell something at their store.

30% is reasonable. DEAL WITH IT.

Don’t like it? Make your own phone and platform.

Opening up the comments on macrumors never disappoints me :)

    Apple is being terrible here, but Walmart now has an amazon-like storefront where third parties can list their own products basically entirely apart from Walmart but using their site. Not sure what the percent cut Walmart takes is, but Walmart might never actually buy from a company selling on their site.

    The bigger the asset, the more sacrosanct are that asset's interests.

    That is a system of nearly unlimited milking of anyone who is not themselves represented through a multi-hundred billion dollar asset.

    Fighting this in the business or legal arena is a complete waste of time. Those battlefields are favorable to the biggest assets.
