Doesn't look like anybody can make 35% of their revenue from those countries though, does it.

You'd be surprised where Lego buyers from bricklink are from. When I was active there I got sales from just about all over the world.

Maybe not but it does include some countries with very large economies.
Sure, but sellers in those countries found the service to be very valuable. The framing of this situation as being beneficial to the cooperation and detrimental to the consumer feeds the narrative of the Evil Corporation, which is sad.
It's really unfortunate that LEGO acquired Bricklink, and then did this, but it's such a common storyline.
