You will be taking 100% of nothing… Because no traffic will visit your page versus Google's or Apple's traffic.

In the same way you can put a store in a rural place, or you could put in in New York 5th Avenue with warrantied traffic.

And of course that 100% does not take into account your cost of hosting, creating or adapting the necessary infrastructure and maintenance.

Exactly! And then people complain that the prices of real estate on 5th Avenue are outrageous.
