this is the most important comment on this issue I've seen in a while. The fact is not just the fb learns which apps to clone; they learn who to promote the clones to AND can drive distribution in a way no one else, other than twitter, possibly can.
that said, at some point there's a tradeoff between being a marketplace for 3rd-party apps and seeking to win with your own proprietary apps across the board.
