If you look at the history of Apple this is something that they do often when they believe in something strongly. Removing the floppy drive, being one that I remember very strongly. I feel Leopard support would have been useful, however I'm sure they have a good reason for it. I actually welcome the App Store and I have some ideas for Mac-specific apps that would be very difficult to market for the money they would achieve and hopefully this will be a good route to market

It's also a subtle way to get the new age devs to forget about supporting two architectures. It's not so big of a deal with something that's entirely Cocoa, but this would cause a lot of problems with games and anything written with low-level, performance happy functions. I think.
