> But Apple does not buy the apps and then resells them

In a sense they do. You can think of it as Apple buying a license and then selling the license to the end user.

I don't disagree that morally Apple is problematic in holding a monopoly on apps on their devices, but charging fees for their shop is not inherently problematic as a standalone issue.
