I believe no one should dispute that an individual can choose
to write for the 2nd place platform (in terms of volume), nor
that an individual can choose to charge for their work product.
Just as with licenses, when one chooses a platform, certain
realities (and restrictions) come with it.  While I do not own
an iDevice, I am sure that there are many who will find this
app desirable, and be willing to pay the fee.  I am sure most
are aware that there are some others that claim GPL itself
is an extortion fee.  No one is forced to choose a particular
platform, nor a particular license, nor choose a particular
price (or even to charge for their work at all).  It is the
authors choice.  I support the authors right to make such
decisions, even if I might choose another way.
