Gross profit doesn't include dev salaries, marketing or fixed costs such as offices. You're using the wrong metric.

Since when does gross profit not include salaries of employees that contribute directly to the product? Is that normal?

I think because they're a fixed cost they're deducted for net profit.

My mistake, net income is 1.5 to 2.8 billion a year for the past 6 years.
