Exactly - if there's a successful business format, it wont stay a niche product without copycats forever. It's unlikely that showing your revenues will have any greater impact than being a number one featured product through any other route.

You can be copied if you stay silent and just do direct sales as well - if you're a company reliant on broad reach of a semi-technical, small-business (/revenue aspirational) audience, it seems like it's worth the risk.
