Exactly. Around 3% is, what the players topping the leaderboard on ACR achieve playing 6-man hyperturbos, which is a very similar format to spin n gos just without the lottery element and with 6 players rather than 3. And as I said earlier, there is probably a reason, why they have all chosen to play those games rather than the spin n gos, which ACR also have. Maybe they want to avoid the lottery element. Or maybe people make significant ICM-mistakes in 6-mans, whereas spin n gos are winner takes all and therefore without ICM considerations.

Returning to the subject of MTT rake vs. spin n go rake this is another reason, why a much higher ROI is possible in MTTs. An MTT is a complex game, where for instance the final table require understanding of ICM and different strategies for a short, medium or large stack. Plus some people are not able to concentrate well for 5 or more hours. And then they end up donking away their stack, when its down to 4, 3 or 2 players, and the payjumps are the largest.

A spin n go on the other hand is always either 3-handed or heads-up, you simply play for chips, and its over in a few minutes. So its a simple game, which it is easy to become at least reasonably good at with a minimum of study and practice. The point here being, that we win in poker, when our opponents make mistakes (and we avoid them), and therefore complex games are easier to beat than simple games.
