No, we are discussing services not sold through their store and not using their payment provider. That is literally the topic of the post.
Third-party console game developers paid money to the console maker even for physical sales.
Third party console games don't literally pay money to not use services.
The payment service is 3%; the commission is the other 27%. That’s what a commission is. It’s for access to the market.
And that doesn't strike you as patently fucking insane? 27%? For doing literally fucking nothing? For literally providing no added value beyond which you as a developer have already paid for?
