It'd be interesting to see how Apple decided $1M as the threshold of this change. My expectation is that this change probably contributes to less than 1~2% of the total App store revenue, given that a large fraction of the app store revenue are driven by a bunch of $100M games with loot box IAP. But I don't really have data to support this estimation.

Probably based on their own internal metrics around range that would minimize their losses.

Small business size definitions in US are managed by SBA and they have very specific revenue ranges that defines what that is for each NAISC code https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/2019-08/SBA%20Table%...
