I guess its because moving the price up and down a lot is a way to get people to buy it for cheap and review it, and then rise the price to catch people off guard. Apple might see giant price changes as a attempt to trick and fool people.

Instead of allowing it, a outright ban is a much better idea.

EDIT: see the activity here. http://appshopper.com/games/the-fleas-2 .

When its cheap they hook people in and get reviews on sites. then they rise it around the place trying to trap people. Instead of Apple giving these people the chance to correct course and set a fair price, they just ban which is far better. Never give scum a second chance, they always try to find a way.
