For many (most) small developers, they are not taking a "huge" amount of money.
One developer at apple is around 300K, or around $600K with overhead.
Many of these smaller apps pay maybe $100 + a tiny bit of sales which are small. You call this "huge" money. This is not. Apple will provide global distribution / accessibility etc for almost nothing (they also will give you xcode etc etc as part of your $100). Devs want gold plate expert service but don't want to pay for it.
Have you been involved in any tech to tech co deals? The amounts apple is taking here are tiny - to apple they are zero for small devs.
