Read it again:

The new business terms for iOS apps in the EU have three elements: Reduced commission — iOS apps on the App Store will pay a reduced commission of either 10 percent (for the vast majority of developers, and subscriptions following their first year) or 17 percent on transactions for digital goods and services.

Qouted verbatm from here: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/01/apple-announces-changes-to-ios-safari-and-the-app-store-in-the-european-union/

There is NO 30% fee anymore, it is going to be 10% for most, 17% for some

Also there is a fee waiver for certain devs, like NPOs and educational orgs. Overall there is a TON of great stuff coming to EU and absolutely no negatives.

Zero negatives, NOTHING is getting worse, and a lot is getting much much better.
