If users do not like Apple practices, they can avoid buying the product.
What you are overlooking is that vendors like Amazon have already
invested who knows how much, to build and provide first class
applications for Apple products and their customers.
Let us not forget that nobody forces them to use Apple App Store if
they are not willing to accept Apple's conditions. They can continue
selling as they have been so far. This is quite different from the
iOS App Store where it is practically the only selling venue. For
some companies with limited marketing reach, 30% cut may well be
worth it. Adjustments of this deal will surely follow as marketing
forces and loud people have their play, as Richard predicted.
