While this seems counterintuitive Mac makes it very convoluted to release on their platform. To the point that the low sales really don't justify. Here's a video from a game dev driving this home

This is what I meant, in part, by saying how idiosyncratic the platform is. There are many more ways it is so.

I am very happy someone put the sales figures out there in the public. Not everyone can afford to if they must keep a professional relationship with Apple.

<100 sales for Mac like this guy claims are realistic numbers.
