A quarter of Apple’s total revenue comes from the EU (with Apple’s average profit margin of ~40%), but only 7% of the app store revenue. Which means that even if Apple gave up on all app store revenue from the EU, they wouldn’t lose that much. In any case, the resources they put into compliance is certainly much, much less than a quarter of their total resources.

I doubt they would leave the EU. I do think it is expected that they will design their products or features with the EU in mind and probably not even ship specific things in that region to avoid risk of being micromanaged / product managed by authorities.
