So what is that? What they earn in a day running the app store?

They made about $42 billion last year. Supposedly they keep about 30% of that (assuming that's the full figure and not already their cut), so it's about 20 days worth of Google's cut.

Cost of doing business.

Did some searching.

In 2021, the Apple App Store reportedly reached around 85 billion U.S. dollars in revenues from global consumers worldwide.

Wrong app store

My bad, Google are only at 47 billion.

So averaged out, this settlement would be about 5-6 days of revenue.
