Apple basically has an iron-fisted grip on _worldwide_ audience of people with money to spend. Google, for example, does not, and their App store is a raging dumpster fire in comparison. I'm not saying that their "cut" shouldn't irritate people, it should - that's just market forces at play, but one must also recognize that for Netflix to not be in the App Store would be pretty catastrophi revenue-wise, much for the same reason why it'd be catastrophic for Google to not be the default search engine in iOS.
