How much money did app developers make before and after the existence of the App Store?

Do the math.

Yeah but how much money did Apple make before the iPhone? Maybe they should be paying the telecoms for all this data use.

If my math checks out, it comes out to...? Trust-busting an Abusive Rent-Seeking Monopoly?!?

Yes I’m sure app developers were making tons before Apple and their rent seeking abusive monopoly.

If it’s so abusive for the developers why do they stay on it?

If it were only abusive for the developers, why is EU intervening on behalf of all users, including developers? It’s harmful to competition, and the harm to developers is the cherry on top.
