So out of every 1M downloads, that's $200,000 to Unity's pocket and out of the pockets of developers. Am I doing this math right?

Not downloads. Installs. They also count re installs. So if you. Install a game, play it, remove it, then install again later that is an additional charge to the dev.

How does that even work if say I buy a game at $10 and then I uninstall and install 51 times?

That’s the cool part, it doesn’t.
