It's a huge market and Apple takes a 30% cut of that for not doing too much. The margins have to be bonkers.

Plus it doesnt seem apple has a big moat there, all big publishers are looking for ways to bypass them or just sue them. It doesn't seem like apple has a healthy relationship with devs, hence their heavihanded practices.
