"If Apple can't make a margin from in-app purchases then its platform would not be viable."

I see what you're saying, but there has to be a limit - How much have apple made of Epic? Im sure they have covered the cost of hosting and distributing the game many times over.

Bear in mind, they charge developers to get games into the store, they get money even for the "free" apps before anyone has a chance to download them.

Also, because its the only way to get an app on an iphone, they effectively have a monopoly and some of the restrictions are pretty shitty.
