Journal craighansen's Journal: Supreme Court to weigh in on who can sue Apple over 30% commission payments 1
Fortune published an article regarding a lawsuit over Apple's 30% commission payments for apps and in-app services. The Supreme Court is seeking input from the Trump administration on the issue of whether customers can sue over the illegally large cut that Apple takes, or whether, as Apple contends, only the app developers can sue.

Two points: An app user has to pay more for the app because of this, so they are affected and have a right to sue.
And, I bet the developers have signed an arbitration agreement that also gives apple the right to pull their license to publish an app for any reason at all. So no developer would sue.
Apple wants to have their cake, and eat yours too.
