> that will actually make some changes to stop the 30% commission scam once and for all.
No. The change they should make is to allow sideloading. I don't care if the developer pays less than 30% when Apple can still censor what I run on my phone.

I think you, as the consumer, are the one who pays.

And you somehow think reducing the commission to, say, 5%, will reduce prices?
I cannot say that it will, though in theory the businesses that want to compete would want to pass the savings to the consumers while staying profitable. But I can say with certainty that increasing the commission will increase the prices. Companies do not pay this fee/commission out of their own pockets.

Correct. I, the consumer, see a price on an app, and either I pay it, or I don't.
How the pie gets divvied up is no skin off my nose. None of my business.
