I'm guessing the number of non-developer Apple users is at least an order of magnitude larger than the developer users. So, no, I don't think developers can vote with their wallet to fix this crappy ecosystem. We'd be better off to just stop developing apps for the ecosystem in general - but that requires developers/companies to ignore the honeypot that is the Apple user base. Which will probably never happen.

So yeah, it's a crappy situation, that is obviously engineered in Apple's favor.

especially since apple customers are more likely to shell out $$$ to buy the developer's wares.
