The App Store and new iOS APIs is an ongoing fee, much more akin to a developer charging a fee to continuously support their (for example) Wordpress theme than a one-time fee for creating the Wordpress theme.

I think it's not about the fee for service model in general, but percentage of future earnings as the fee that people have an issue with.

That makes it unlike either a one-time or a flat maintenance fee.
