If those numbers are true, they could tart with one Mac and can double every few months. But, I guess there are also many people who do not have ready access to whatever a Mac mini costs either...

You can run the simulation out, but if the idea works, you can get to scaled revenue much faster than organic growth keeping 100% of the margin.

This is essentially the same reason even the best money managers take outside money to start, even if they eventually kick out the investors.
