Apple used to be able to argue “our users spend money” - but even if you got 10% market share for a $2.99 app (via IAP so less 30% off the top), you’re taking what, $85k max ARR for an app that your dev costs just on hardware could eat up 1/4 of that (an AVP and a beefy Mac is $10k) and that’s before labor and support costs!</p>
