>Probably because people are not directly aware of the Apple premium,

It's because it's developers who piss and moan about the 30%, while most consumers get value from having to go through the AppStore, such as 1.) being able to cancel subscriptions quickly and easily and 2.) ensuring that developers aren't abusing permissions to siphon data from the device.




Also it's actually only a 15% cut for the vast majority of developers. Shouldn't matter either way once Apple is forced to allow sideloading.
