  Which part? I think retroactively billing people for arbitrary values like "30%" is dumb, since it doesn't actually address the issues people have. I wouldn't be mad if Apple passed me an itemized bill for my hosting costs and whatnot, but without that kind of transparency it still feels like I'm being scammed.

Regulators/courts are limited in what they can do, so it's not surprising that the ruling isn't some sort of decisive victory for independent software companies.

Not necessarily, I'd think "address the issues people have" is a good place to start when you're regulating American corporate policy in a modern democracy.
