Visa and Mastercard do actually charge 30% if you don't pay within 30 days or so. Why is that not equally laughable?

Is it because they provide a service in exchange for that 30%, a service that many people are willing to pay 30% for?



I'm talking about the merchant fees, not the interest rate for cardholders. The cardholder interest rate is not at all analogous to Apple's revenue share.
