I think that you're wrong about why developers love app stores. It's about someone else solving all of the problems which aren't "make your app". It handles updates, feedback, discoverability, CC info, password resets, etc.

I've never had the experience you describe; which app(s) are you talking about which need to be bought repeatedly with no new functionality?
