Same model as Unreal Engine. I wonder if this scaling model works out for most marketplaces or only specific ones.

Except Unreal Engine actually delivers some value for their cut.

The operating system isn’t valuable from your perspective? The payment processing? The IDE? The language?

The operating system is valuable to the people who buy it, as in, the people who buy iPhones. This is why they pay a hefty price for it. Asking developers to pay for the OS is just double-dipping.
