There are many examples where the revenue model determines success or failure: for example, many Web 1.0 companies had revenue models tied to banner ads, and when the price of banner ads collapsed after 2001, they died. So a more accurate statement would be to say "The revenue model may have little to do with why a business eventually succeeds or fails." If you want to make a stronger statement, you could say "rarely has anything to do", although I think that claim is debatable.
