app stores do a lot more than payment processors though. Maybe not 30% worth, but definitely mote than 1-2%.
The real issue though is that there isn't a good way to handle every app. In a normal world, every app would cost money to buy, and they would only be charged on the purchase prize. But in a world where most apps are free and then there are in-app purchases, there isn't really any other way for those to be monetized but to take a cut of transactions. But obviously these things don't scale the same.
