Volume sales (or lack thereof)...only so many people are going to buy a rulebook app. The NFHS's primary source of funding is rulebooks....they want to make about that amount of money from each person that is willing to buy a rulebook. They need it to exist. Without it, they'd not be able to do the things they do. Of course, one could argue that they do not need to do all the things they do (yearly rules changes, for one, but that leads to more book sales). But that is another issue.
