Most mac buyers never install an app after they buy their machine which means all they use the app store for is updating. You don't need an entire app store to do that.
No one uses the mac app store to find apps. There is no "browsing around installing different things to try them out" like there is on ios it's simply not how people use the computer.
Apple would be much better of with simply featuring apps they vouch for and then stay out of the rest. There are plenty of ways to deal with security that doesn't hinder development of the platform.
