On this note, Apple's 30% flat tax is a poor decision.
I wonder how much of a hit Apple would take if the first $5000 per year per app was rebated.
There's a long tail of mild-moderately successful apps that provide value to some, but may not be economic to continue. With this system, devs could re-invest ~50% more funds into their early-stage product if they could.
It may pay for itself in future success and better products.
It's like a VC: You're small and a small amount of money means a lot to you. We'll give it to you in exchange for 30% of your future sales. The system works.

Netflix does it. AWS does it. GCloud does it.
