Well they kind of have used their position to indirectly increase prices… If they take a 30% cut then the games need to sell for more to make the same profit (and there’s the geolock and anti price-competition thing too)
The only reason being that they loosely apply the agreement people sign with them, they still reserve the right to remove games from their store of they’re sold at a lower price elsewhere. They’re getting sued for that at the moment.

Yet they also allow developers to sell generated keys with 0% cut either directly or to key sites if they desire.
