Apollo is a bit different; in my experience, apple product users are most used to subscription payment and non-free (both as in free lunch and in freedom) products. Good or bad, many other users are not used to that. Personally I would happily pay 50$ to buy a app to support the developer, but not a monthly subscription.
Also I personally prefer to use “properly open-sourced app” (have a readable organized repo, instead of a zip dump of everything in the corner of the website, just to comply with GPL). And these apps are harder to monetize.
I used to use Boost. Never paid for it, not that they ever asked me to. Saw no ads, ever. So I guess the gap was yuge
I use infinity, the same story.
