Exactly, in the days before the web.

The majority of software sold for computers isn't sold through the Microsoft store or Apple store, it's through other channels with much lower costs. Apple won't let you load apps onto the hardware you own unless they go through the App store and pay the Apple tax.

Developers (and users) shouldn't settle for "better than retail, even if it's worse than the open web".
