Seems to be already removed, at least that's what I see from Europe with a U.S. account.

Remember that whatever amount of money is this publisher making, Apple is taking a 30%. Maybe they don't put too much effort on their side on purpose, just saying.

Apple breaks even on app sales, and has done so for years. The 30% of paid apps is used for developing the Xcode software and SDK, evaluating app submissions, advertising, affiliate programs, payment processing, storage and bandwidth.

Also remember, Apple pays the storage and bandwidth for all the free apps, which devs can submit for free.
