Sex workers in Bangkok pay around 10% of their salaries to the bars where people can find the workers.

Apple and other companies take around 30% as a fee for using their marketplace.

I don't see a reason why big tech should get a higher cut.

I don't see why they should get any cut, do you pay Dell whenever you install a game on your laptop?

Did I download the game from Dell’s servers? Was the game made using tools authored by Dell? Did the game go through a quality assurance process run by Dell? I know at one point they ran a digital distribution platform and I’d be highly surprised if they weren’t charging some sort of fee.
