yes. But the more likely action is that they download another app and delete yours. Most apps are "free", so the competition is fierce to keep that market happy. The dev is always beholden to the volatile audience.

It is apples and oranges, though. Because 1) apps are hardly a critical need for the populace and 2) software margins are even more difficult to find that "line" to than physical resources.

I'm sure that medicine needs some higher than average markup in order to make up for R&D, ingredients, and various regulations to get it approved for human patients. But very unlikely 1000%. And only 1000% because of questionable vertical integration that lets UHC charge UHC however much it wants to itself.
