Anyone who cares could have just gone to the website to make their payment but the real fucked up thing is that Apple ToS prevents them from disclosing that.

They did disclose it, though. I got popups every time I logged in for weeks warning of the imminent additional cut Apple was going to take from donators/creators, which explicitly spelled out that payments made via other platforms would not be affected by this cut.

Maybe they were prevented from doing so in the iOS app, but they sure did it everywhere else.
