Yes I’m sure you could get VC funding by selling an app on the App Store.

Yeah of course you could, why wouldn't you? That is one of the easiest ways to get VC funding, up there with making a website.
There is a huge difference between making a “service” exposed by an app and making an app.

How many successful “apps” do you know of? And most successful “services” that people access through the App Store don’t go through the App Store for payments

On top of the other replies, the million threshold impacts smaller scale investment than VC as well.
