> What’s it going to be?

It is that the quality of the app store itself sucks. I noticed this a long time ago when they had over 100k apps.

This is like the company cafeteria, or the food vendors at the stadium/etc. The quality doesn't have to be good if you're the only game (allowed) in town. Your choice is to get in line like everyone else.

How many company cafeterias or stadium bars could survive downtown where people can actually pick and choose based on the quality of the food and service?

the answer is obviously, competition.
