What investors? The purpose of Debian is not to make money, it's to make operating system.
And if "take longer" means after we're all dead, that's not sufficient.

30% of nothing is nothing.
Moreover, the 30% is a monopoly rent -- they only get away with it because they're the only viable store for that platform. Who is going to pay 30% in a competitive market?

Then don't use that app. The app won't work on a different phone Linux distro either.
>The Amazon Fire phone was discontinued after only a year.
The Amazon app store still exists. Windows even partenered with Amazon to bring their app store to Windows.

That is part of the business strategy that will need to be figured out.

They find new ones every year. :)
