Again, for me it has nothing to do with brand loyalty—the only Apple device I use is the Mac that I have to use for work, and I regularly miss my Linux environments.
My reactions come mostly from perplexity at how many people so thoroughly misunderstood Apple's 30% fee as a ridiculously overpriced (10x) payment processor fee. That's never been how Apple or the law has thought about it, and the genuine surprise that Apple would insist on being paid is confusing to me.
It's up for debate whether the 30% was justified, but it was never in question that they'd want something.
