How many business ideas does that guy have that make more than $1 million a year but would also be unprofitable after 30% app store fees?

It's more a portfolio of companies that many make less, but a few hits cover the investment in the rest (the standard publishing and tech investing story). If the hits are going to take a 18% rev loss compared to say Epic's 12% store, then that's 18% less funding for the rest if things are invested efficiently/predicted well for the portfolio.
Note it's 15% on the first $1 million then 30% after, at least for Google. So you're not losing money by being just above it either.
Yeah, I'm considering where $1 million isn't a significant portion of the revenue.
