As much as I hate Apple's business model and while most of that licensing fee is pure profit, some of that money goes into testing apps for embedded malware, which Google Play does not do. One of the few good things Apple does right as far as a closed system goes.

1) this is to keep shovelware from flooding into the AppStore.
2) it funds the manual testing that Apple does with your apps, it gets tested by people, not just anti malware screeners like Google does.
3) if you actually make decent apps you shouldnt have to care about it since you'd earn that money back in no time.

Now try to educate yourself before you make any assumptions on other reasons why a company does things.

Apple aren't about anything other than conspicuous consumption for the customers. The more people pay, the more they work to justify the money.
