Apple had 72.3 billion revenue from App Store in 2020. I can assure you that I can provide you with online store that I can find your app on, and run security checks against your app to check for malicious apps, etc. for 2.1 billion $ per year (3%).

Ah yes, and I’ll have that feature done in 2 weeks, max! How hard could it be?

The excuse is hardship? Are you saying that Apple's app store profit margin is low, or comparing $2.1 billion to 2 weeks?

I never said it would be done in two weeks but I think you underestimate what can be achieved with 2.1 billion dollars per year. For 200-250$ mil you will have ~1000 software engineers/project managers/other staff and you are left with 1.9 billion, costs for infrastructure + bandwidth not more than 400 mil, you are left with 1.5 billion.
