They have no incentive to keep themselves honest.

I have worked on a music streaming service for a while and our iOS app was a big pain. We often had months long gaps where we were unable to get an update published.

The good thing about Google being this unfocused is that they are unable to do even think about doing the same and favor Play Music or whatever they are calling it now .. again, they are not strong on focus.

I kinda hope that at some point publishing an app will be considered an utility so it can't be so easily gamed by the platform owner.
