Last time this came up Patreon simply allowed the creators to charge the commission directly on top of the price for non apple users, or eat the 30% loss. So everyone not using iOS would pay, say, $5/month, iOS users would pay $5+30%. Hope they retain that option.

Ya a few apps already do this. YouTube premium does for sure and I have heard a few others doing so.

Your math is wrong. If you want the creator to still get $5 with apple stealing 30% you would need to pay ~43% extra. $5/0.7 = $7.14 1/0.7 = 1.42857
