The latter digit is amazingly high and indicates how many of your tax dollars of software companies subsidize. (How much does your local or national government pay for about 70% margins in software costs?) It certainly helps Microsoft to maintain its own margin of 43.79% in his company – and probably means that larger software companies have been able to force the app store to force the app store.
The only sectors higher than software are Retail -REITs (shopping centers, office rental, etc.) at 77.48%and Big Pharma (70.3%), closely followed by financial services (ie the people who have given us the financial crisis) with 68.37%. Even now, tobacco is also an industry with a high margin at 61.96%.
