Probably because they sell mostly to businesses. The Raspberry Pi seems to be targeted to schools and hobbyists; neither of those groups spends a lot of money on software (certainly not compared to businesses).

Out of the groups mentioned only the business ones have lots of money to spend. And businesses typically get these support licenses because they are either required to by hte hardware or software they use, third party contracts, or that it's cheaper then hiring fully qualified employees. That is they actually save money by spending it on Redhat. Unfortunately for this guy he will probably find that iOS app store has turned into 'land of dead apps'.

Well then, that sounds like a dumb business decision by the author. Who spends 4 years working on something they only intend on selling, without ever checking if their market wants to buy it?
