Some data to back your assertions up ? App store revenue has been increasing constantly since its launch. http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/15/app-store-google-play-revenue-q1-2015/ http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/15/app-store-google-play-re... http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/27/app-store-record-growth-q2-2015/ http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/27/app-store-record-growth-... I agree that it has problems (visibility of quality apps, abundance of trashy apps, high competition) but profitability does not seem to be one of them. EDIT: (Answer to TorKlinberg below) I guess so, I don't see why it should not figure. "People don't like it" it's just an opinion which I don't see being backed up by data, in the end people "like" with their wallets.
