No? Apple charges a fee on every app sale. Where do you think the app makers pay that walled garden tax?

Never spent money on an app on my phone.

Buying apps is hardly "all activity on a phone". It's completely inconsequential to my spend since summer of 2008, when I began using Apple products. Maybe a couple hundred dollars in total app store purchases? It would make no sense for me to base a decision about devices I use day and night over that small amount of money (30% of a couple hundred dollars).
