You’re really delusional if you think you can get 0% on any platform ever…

Let’s do a test. Write a hello world application and make a subscription for it for $1/mo. Publish it in git and offer it on the web, Windows, iOS and Android.
Beyond your time investment, which platforms costs more than $0?
All of them.
I think you’re mistaken in regards to Apple. https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2024/01/17/apples-...
First iOS support 2 platforms since iOS 2: the web and the App Store. You deploy for the web, you deploy for iOS. (Direct quotes from a WWDC.)
Now assuming you’re talking about the App Store I don’t get your point anyway. For all platforms you’re gonna have to pay something at some point so all of them cost more than 0$.
And how many features are unavailable for the web? It’s not apples to apples.
The point is that you don’t need to pay if you’re hosting a github pages pwa. The backend costs are shared.
There’s a reason Apple got into the credit card business, the extra a fee for every transaction model has been their core for a very long time, it was natural.
