What does revenue got to do with producing/shipping products? maybe you quoted the wrong sentence?

You can have millions of dollars in revenue without producing anything, on the other hand, you can also provide a lot of services and products for free

I'm quite sure a number of product people would answer "everything"

Feature factories are a thing for a reason.

If anything that goes against the parent comment, how Apple has more revenue per engineer while not being a feature factory by any stretch

In any case, taking both of the comments combined kinda prove my point, that higher revenue can be attributed to many things completely outside how many products/features was shipped:

- Pricing strategy

- You can have a monopoly with a single shitty product

- You can be middle man/broker with no product to begin with

- You can be running a Ponzi scheme or committing fraud

So it doesn't make sense to use revenue (or revenue per team member) as a way to compare teams between different companies and furthermore possibly across completely separate markets and industry
