I really doubt that blogs numbers, the revenue share in Europe is around 25%, I doubt less than a third of that is in EU:

That's not actually Europe. That's Apple's "Europe" sector which includes 4 billion people across Europe, India, Africa and the Middle East.

7% of App Store revenue. Not all their revenue.

That's amazingly low given that Europe has such a large portion of the world's wealthy consumers. Even then, I think it'd be a huge risk to Apple if they created the perfect conditions for the might of the Polish/German/Ukrainian/Dutch developers to create their own Apple competitor.

Gathering some hard data…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_pe...

look at the “by country” table. If sorted by mean, 2 countries in the top 10. If sorted by median, 3.

I agree that 7% of app store revenue seems low. HOWEVER keep in mind that the EU is tiny on a population level. Not a single county cracks the top ten. So maybe not so surprising…

EU is also bigger on population level than USA as a whole market.

That's a bit like saying that USA is tiny on population level because of states like Alaska.
