Interesting thought - a spammer can use the Play Store’s visible metadata on an app to decide which ones to prioritize. For example, one criteria might be, apps with lots of interesting permissions, decent number of users, but no recent updates. For such an app a spammer could increase their incentives or try more hard-sell tactics.

Not really that far fetched. It's the Raccoon blog. Raccoon, being an open source APK downloader partially reimplemens the play store app and app discovery is what that app is all about.
