*transaction fees
*gateway fees
*chargeback fines and refund fees

Then go ahead and try to do all of that for 15% or less. Chances are you will need a fairly large scale operation to justify bringing all of that in-house. (or maybe you just don't need all of it) But for smaller operations who would rather not worry about wrangling all or most of the above, 15% is not excessive, many are doing just fine paying that.
Exactly, its not like they are doing nothing for the commission. Also, most companies making 150million a year, wouldnt be paying 15% neither.
