What exactly does Apple think that they’re brining to the equation in order to deserve that 30?

Because Valve can and Tim wants his yachts. No one is gonna stop em either. The App Store and Steam are the same thing: Store fronts that sell other peoples goods. You may say that Steam is just an app—don't tell me, tell your representatives

    Which device only allows you to run software downloaded from Steam?

    Tell your representatives, not me. According to our representatives, what Apple has is not a monopoly. You don't have to convince me, you have to convince them. If you truly care about this issue, vote accordingly.

    I don’t understand why you think it’s ok to knowingly present a false equivalency then. You clearly know it’s not true, so why repeat the lie?

    There is a vocal subset of people on the Fediverse who truly believe that Steam, Valve, and Gabe can no do wrong. Completely, forgetting that Valve and Gabe are both worth billions of dollars. That Steam fits the legal defintion of a monopoly because Steam controls such a massive part of the market.
