The long and short of it is that Google has well documented instances of bribing/paying companies to not offer their apps on other stores, and Apple simply runs their walled-garden.

So Apple’s 30% cut seemed to be in line with competitors.

Of course, I don’t think either should be allowed to do this, but the legal argument against Google is stronger imo.
