The Real Victims In Apple?s Subscription Model: Middlemen

The inimitable John Gruber takes a cold, hard look at Apple's 70/30 split when it comes to iOS subscriptions and comes away unimpressed by the whiners who claim the fee is onerous.
The fact is, the App Store is an all-or-nothing affair. You play by Apple?s rules or you stick to web apps through Mobile Safari. This alternative is no different for periodical publishers than it was (and remains) for app developers in general. A lot of these demands boil down to a desire for more autonomy for native iOS app developers. Apple has never shown any interest in that.
