This is good for smaller developers, but it doesn't really seem to solve the actual problem? All the people who are willing to go to war with Apple and have teeth are making way more than that…

Yes but many of the larger players who are willing to go to war use the 'its not fair on smaller developers' argument against them.

This really slaps down the ability to use that.

A lot of small devs are going to be over this threshold.

Good for them! That's a lot of money.

It's not a lot of money if 10-20 people are splitting it between wages and employment taxes and health care and rent and marketing.

You can be quite a small business and still go over a million in revenue. This is more like "single small team" as a threshold.

You seem to be conflating revenue with profit.
