Very recently, I’ve been regularly entertained by folks using systems that sell around 20 million a year calling things that sell in far greater numbers “niche”.
I agree.

Rather doubt that Apple will buy - LumaFusion is currently being ported to Android & Chrome OS.
You are probably right about doubting it. But DarkSky was on Android when Apple decided to purchase it, I don't think that's a legitimate reason for Apple to hesitate on acquiring LumaFusion. It's all a matter of whether they can come up with the right numbers to benefit both parties.
It's up to Apple to increase how much money they can pull from their customers. Perpetually content customers don't buy stuff. Sure, Apple will make their customers feel like they made a great purchasing decision to buy Apple products and services, but then Apple has to introduce discontent with that they currently have so that they buy the next new thing.
Turn on the FOMO-generator and away we go.You bring up a good point.

This is why when the Apple Pencil was first released, it was "revolutionary" and a buttery-smooth experience. But when they want to sell the Pencil 2, suddenly the 1st gen Pencil is a laggy stuttering mess.
I think, based on absolutely nothing, that they’re expanding to Android for a reason. They may know ahead of time that sales of their iPad app may start to decline for that, heretofore unknown, reason.
LUMA Fusion is quite impressive on iPadOS

Still they sell more iPad than most notebooks brands. Our idea of slumped sales are quite funny.
Nobody has said it shouldn't exist. Nobody has said it's a failure because is doesn't run Final Cup Pro. What they have said is the there is no good reason why the iPad shouldn't be able to run FCP. The hardware is capable. Apple can choose to make iOS capable, too.
Let me tell you the real reason. Samsung is paying for that. They have done that before with other apps and games, including Clip Studio. How does it work? The usual way is they get in touch with the company, ask them if they would like to collaborate with them and typically book them an exclusivity on the Galaxy Store for a given period of time, say 3 months (after which the app will be available on the Play Store too). They give the company an undisclosed amount of money in exchange for this exclusivity and the promotion of the app in Samsung marketing. This money of course helps financing the porting of the app to Android. Another variant is they "buy" either the "app" for the galaxy store (so it's free there, but not on Android in general, e.g. Note-shelf) or they pay for, say, 6 months free for Galaxy users. Win-win for both. Samsung gets important apps on their devices and these companies diversify into Android devices.
The issue has been corrected, so those scores are no longer the real ones, provided you disable GOS for Lumafusion (it's still enabled by default, but you can disable for each app). The real scores are more in line with the 9th gen iPad.
