#2Seriously curious, what percentage is “fair”? Or is the issue you can’t side load this app without going through the App Store?

#3Possible misleading title. Apple wants 30% of earnings, not “creator” earnings.

If Apple wants to play gatekeeper, no percentage IMO unless they're using Apple's payment network which should be competitive with others like stripe at 3% or so.
In this case they actually are willing to pay Apple, just 30% of their revenue which is 10% of the transaction price but Apple wants 30% of the transaction price.

#5This will keep happening as long as people keep agreeing to Apple's terms and building on their platform. I wouldn't touch Apple's platform with a 10 foot pole. Nothing here is new. It's getting harder to sympathise with developers who keep doing it.

an 10% profit margin is considered average

Possibly misleading comment. Did you read the tweet thread? Apple is demanding 30% of all transactions sourced from an Apple device.

"In writing and over the phone, we explained to Apple that we could pay them 30% of our revenues (from our 10% take rate). It'll be harder to cover costs and build features as a startup, but at least it'd be coming from us. Apple insisted on taking 30% of creators' total earnings."

This is being pedantic to the point of being wrong.
Because of the nature of the app, the earnings in-app, which Apple wants, are creator earnings.
Your suggested title would be less specific to the point of being flat out wrong if Fanhouse makes earnings elsewhere... which they do.
