You’re seriously underestimating the support overhead of having a Mac app. There’s way more hardware and software configurations than on iOS. The equation may not play out to make maintaining those Marzipan ports appealing for many. The amount of UIKit developers is smaller than the amount of publishers. A lot of apps are made in bulk with web wrappers or template engines. Let’s say there’s 200k UIKit developers in the world. That’s still clearly less than 10% of professional and hobbyist software developers. |

There doesn't have to be any "support overhead". You can simply offer the app as is, as tons of developers do. At worst, throw a "FAQ/common issues" page and leave it at that.
I have tons of apps, and very successful ones (judging from their publicity/store placement), that offer absolutely no support.

It's still clearly way more than needed to have a huge market. Heck, 5% of pro and hobbyists developers would still be enormously huge.
