They have no leverage against Apple, so I'm not sure what options they have. They can drop off the service and lose all revenue, while affecting no positive change. Other struggling developers will just take their place.

This problem has been solved so many times, but still, developers hate it (which is quite baffling in this case), and companies also hate it (which is very understandable).
