It’s why subscribing to YouTube premium within iOS app costs more because Google just makes up the difference that way.

I wish more businesses would do this. If a middleman is taking a cut, make it crystal clear to your customers.

This is my biggest gripe with Steam, for example. Valve can do 30% if they want, but dictating minimum prices on other stores that have nothing to do with Steam is just monopolistic.
