Why does Apple feel they deserve a 30% cut? In cases like this, Apple aren't providing any value at all.

Apple aren't providing the content - the creator is.
Apple aren't providing a platform for the content - Patreon is.
Apple aren't providing a platform for discovery - people aren't finding Patreon creators solely via Apple products.

Sure, Apple are providing a payments platform, but why do they deserve 10x what Stripe charges?

Deserving is irrelevant under Capitalism. It's only whether they can get away with it or not?
