That's such a large cut, I just don't think the Play Store provides nearly that much value. It's also a bit of a strong-armed position anyway, so the fee feels even more disproportionate. You only have to pay them because they've cultivated a mono-store environment for android phones.
You're saying that the development tools, backend hosting, and other play services provide no value to developers? I disagree but at the same time google has been doing a less than great at promoting android apps and helping developers monetize their apps. Atleast compared to apple.

The play store provides basically no value at all, not even the marginal value Apple's App Store provides.
