Basically that is all I have been ranting about for years since they announced their Service Revenue Strategy in ~2016. Apple could charge game and software 30% all they want, but they shouldn't charge for access to iPhone user as in so called reader apps. Which some people disagree with not long ago (cough).
Unfortunately vast majority Apple supporters or Apple apologist seems to think Apple deserve everything because it is Apple's App Store.
Now signing up a remote teaching class which is basically a group video call ala Zoom doesn't require to pay 30% of that to Apple.
Edit: And I will just add, before 2016 that mandate to have signup link, most of these Services and Reader App were just fine. Apple argued it gives bad user experience because the App does not have any sign up link. That is BS. In reality no-one discover these Apps on App Store. The discovery process does not happen on App Store. It would have at least gave Apple a minuscule creditability if App Store Searching had actually worked. But it never did. People discover the services outside of App Store and download those Apps with links. ( And they know full well how all these worked and killed their Apps affiliation program in 2018 ) And as shown in court document Apple actually knew this and how the App Discovery process drive Apps related Ads which leads back to privacy etc etc. Basically there is whole new level of hypocrisy just to achieve their Services Revenue Goal by 2020.
