Keep in mind that Apple is the other party in this interaction. Pot, Kettle, Black, etc.

Yes, what would you call the 30% that developers have to pay?
TSMC should charge Apple a 30% fee to be in their FabStore.

TSMC already does make a huge amount of money off of being the indispensable fab for all of Apple's latest-and-greatest chips.
Each time TSMC launches a new or incrementally-improved manufacturing process, Apple's latest Ax SoC is nearly always the first chip manufactured on that process to reach consumers.
