I think “developer accounts” doesn’t imply “pays $100 a year”.

I have an account on developer.apple.com, but never pay anything for it.

That gives me the right to generate a certificate to sign development applications and install them on a few devices (where the certificate will rapidly expire), but not to put anything on the App Store.

Are you sure there are 20M paying accounts?

Sorry, I meant that the maximum they’re making is $2B. But in reality it’s surely a much smaller number. Which makes it even more unlikely that Apple is optimizing for developer fees.
