“As low as 15%”
Great! That’s so much cheaper than the 0% you can get on other platforms.
This used to be acceptable when Apple was innovating and providing extra value, today it doesn’t fly.

As a hobbyist I love having international commerce largely papered over and abstracted away. There’s no need to worry about exchange rates, taxes, hosting, or bandwidth. This is well worth the 15% to me.
Beyond your time investment, which platforms costs more than $0?
Now assuming you’re talking about the App Store I don’t get your point anyway. For all platforms you’re gonna have to pay something at some point so all of them cost more than 0$.
The point is that you don’t need to pay if you’re hosting a github pages pwa. The backend costs are shared.
There’s a reason Apple got into the credit card business, the extra a fee for every transaction model has been their core for a very long time, it was natural.
