Well, I am seldom the first one to shout greedy but in this case they really could focus on creating a better appstore experience for free but did not.

They already own the app distribution on iOS completely and is already making huge amounts of money (I would guess) on that 30% cut. Do they really need to make the extra money that comes of this?

Sure, it will make their revenue go up even more but at the expense of users and smaller developers. That is what I believe, but if that really is what is going to happen I guess we will find out.

eh app store is really feast or famine for businesses. zero middle ground. could help smaller guys. theres a whole niche industry where smaller biz's pay money to get promotion from 'social influencers' to boost downloads. apple just improving this work-around solution.
