This is bad for developers and users. Users see less results and will miss out on quality apps. And do you really think it's good to reward app store SEO??

How is this a good thing? Would you not rather spend time developing a great app. This just creates an opportunity for people to become more successful through gaming the store.

Trust me, after you've released your app to the store and you see the importance search ranking has (and how difficult it is to acquire the things you need to rank high) you will change your opinion on this.
