If it was your company, would you rather have 99% market share and 1% of profits, or 1% market share and 99% of profits?

99% of profits, obviously, but you've forgotten what thread we're in. This is a thread about Linux and software freedom. For that, market share is way more important than profit share.
If I was making 99% of the profit off of 1% the market, I’d be terrified someone could just undercut me and take either my 1% or a big portion of the remaining market, that I’m trying to also get.
Owning the profit is great, but owning the market means longevity.
