So should he price the small shops out of the market by setting the
price too high lose money on development by setting the price too low
or simply not develop the product so that both the big and the small
shops lose? Those are his choices.

They should pay more, but in practice they pay less because of bulk
discounts. Is that fair?

Then stop judging it.

And when he finally does get an income you whine about it. He's not
exerting monopoly powers to extort money like some software vendors;
in fact, he's not big enough to do so. He's simply trying to set a
pricing model that allows him to make a reasonable profit on the time
and money he's invested.
