Some other points Google’s economist has helped make:

• 99.5 percent of Android app developer revenue comes from purchases that happen after an app has been downloaded — so Google only makes its money back on distribution once a purchase happens

• Other platforms require their own payment system, like Airbnb, Amazon, eBay, Lyft, Uber, Taskrabbit, Roku, Steam, and Walmart

• We saw a slide with 21 different bullet pointed items Google has added to Play to support developers over the years

• In China, where Google is not so active, Gentzkow says app developers face a “fractured app store landscape” with service fees often higher than 50 percent (let alone 30 percent), and users see more fake apps, malware, and have more difficulty finding what they’re looking for

• Only 0.4 percent of the devices capable of running Fortnite (as of November 16th, 2021) were on the RSA 3.0 Premier Tier, and so “RSA 3.0 did not block Epic distribution.”
