Yeah I could easily afford that but I haven't spent $250 on phone apps in my entire life. I don't think I've even spent $25. $250 is more like what I'd pay for the phone itself.
Totally, but what do you do with mobile devices that needs it? I use iOS with iPads and iPhones, so buying Affinity (which works great on an iPad with a Pencil but also has software for quick edits on a phone) makes a lot of sense to me. They provide value, so I paid for them.
This, not simply "doesn't have money", is the thing about mobile apps that it feels like most people in that most things a user wants to do on a phone don't actually need an app, and if they do it's probably because they're buying something or talking to somebody and neither of those are categories that need more entries with a lower security barrier.
