Look, even Wikipedia admits it!

Passive income is a type of unearned income that is acquired with little to no labor to earn or maintain.

In this scenario you have made something and it is available for purchase. A landlord creates nothing and will not sell so that they can benefit from scarcity.

Sure, but it's still passive income. Being a landlord is not the only way of having a passive income. And I'm criticizing the way it's defined.

idk, this reads like using a semantic difference to run cover. The app isn't passive income because you did something even though the creation of it is over, passive income comes from owning something as opposed to doing/making or anything else of actual worth.

Please see my other comments in this thread, you have a wing definition of "passive income", please look it up.
