developers/companies always had 100% profits.. you had initial costs to setup retail channel/distribution but the advantage was that once setup they did zero profit sharing.
That's how big software companies came to be to begin with and grew to be billion dollar companies..
Apple saw that and wants to lock everything in so any app developed for Apple platform and being sold they will have a piece of profits.. In return they do take care of distribution. For smaller developers this might make sense, but if you become big, you start realizing that the Apple's model is not that great.
