> virtually nobody pays.

100% of the top 100 paid apps on the App Store pay the full tax. It's a progressive model, and the figure itself is arbitrary anyways. People want a more Mac-like distribution model, and Apple is reluctant to provide it because services are the only thing with wider margin than slave labor cellphones.

There are millions of apps on the App Store. The top 100 is a tiny fraction of that. Virtually nobody pays.


The majority of transactions are taxed fully, both by volume and value.


I have clearly been talking about organisations not transactions:

> The only organisations who pay 30% earn over a million dollars a year from things other than long-term subscriptions. That’s a tiny minority.

You’re just changing the point and arguing for the sake of it now.
