People should look at their graph of the times that their app is used. It is decelerating. That would mean that a no-op would actually be measured as having negative value according to the formula provided if measured in the medium term. A minor improvement would benefit them and would result in no benefit to you. In fact, many apps actually decay when people don’t regularly improve them. Without the next developer, your ongoing compensation will soon fall to zero. They need a better formula at the very least. They also need protections for the developer against copying the feature. If it is cheaper to do so, they can just hire developers to duplicate the feature and then toss your implementation.
