The excuse is hardship? Are you saying that Apple's app store profit margin is low, or comparing $2.1 billion to 2 weeks?

I never said it would be done in two weeks but I think you underestimate what can be achieved with 2.1 billion dollars per year. For 200-250$ mil you will have ~1000 software engineers/project managers/other staff and you are left with 1.9 billion, costs for infrastructure + bandwidth not more than 400 mil, you are left with 1.5 billion.
