You understand that this would kill free apps, and strongly disincentivize many startups and other small shops from developing for the app store? This, in turn, would devalue the entire iOS ecosystem and likely hurt Apple's revenue.

Are there "free" apps? I mean you already pay for a dev account 100$ , so say i am an open source project, I already have to pay for dev account, for a Mac device so there is no free stuff. Apple could be kind and offer free hosting for open source projects and if someone affords to pay for a doman and webhosting to have their installer hosted there they could also pay the same amount for hosting on Apple servers.
