Add to that the supposed necessity of incurring expenses such as “$7,000 for marketing, $5,000 for legal and administrative services, $4,000 for logo and Web-site art” …. How is this a sustainable business model?

Wake up folks, the App Store is a distribution channel, nothing more, nothing less. It is not, nor is any other distribution channel for that matter, a guarantee that your “business” will be a financial success.
