Does your grocery store pay its suppliers, or does it merely skim and give the farmers what's left over?
If Apple provided no value in the equation you might have a stronger case, but as it is they handle an awful lot, from payment processing to marketing to distribution.
Apple is providing you an audience that's ready to buy, that has cash in hand, and all you have to do is bang out an app they'll hit the "Buy Now" button for. Sounds to me like developers are the ones doing the skimming, at least by your definition.
