Seems like simple price-fixing isn’t the question when Apple enforces monopoly status. Apple gets to charge an exorbitant percentage, which 30% is in this case, because of that status.

No it isn’t exorbitant. It’s a commission to sell their product for them in Apple’s market. If they were to sell their product in a retail store, they would have to wholesale it. Typical wholesale cost of a retail software product is 40-50% of the retail price. 30% is a bargain for them.
