That fee also applies to apps published on the app store.

If I understand correctly it only affects apps with more than 1 million annual downloads. I also don't think it applies to marketplaces, only apps. So if fdroid had a marketplace, the devs would pay that fee and not fdroid.

This article says that the fee applies to every installation of a marketplace.
