>A 70% take as a producer of goods is very high for a manufacturer that doesn't own the distribution channel.

Is there a competing distribution channel that iOS users are allowed to access? Or does the distributor lock producers into its channel? If the later, the distributor's take is completely arbitrary and can only be assumed to be selected so as to maximize the distributor's take of the producer's generated value.

Your argument falls apart given that the Play Store has the same split, and there are plenty of competing distribution channels on Android.

Amazon App store is the first that comes to mind, but IIRC most apps sold in asia are through non-google app stores

I don't see a coherent argument.
