This is like saying “we shouldn’t have a police and justice system because despite all the money we spend on it my bike was still nicked.” There are reportedly ~4.4 million apps on the Apple App Store[0]; if 0.01% of those are scams, that’s still ~440. How many do you expect to find? And how many false reports do you expect Apple to receive from scammers, trying to take down the legitimate apps they compete with? Yes, there does seem to be something wrong with the rating system they use, based on what is said in that article. Yes, Apple should take down an entire developer account for scanning not just an app. The counterpoint is, successfully taking them down requires more than just that, because just that is an arms race between the scanners and those hunting the scammers.
