> And I want Apple to decide that — not another company that takes (large) kickbacks from app developers [...] I want Apple to be ultimately responsible for my app marketplace experience.

Yes, that line bugged me as well. Forgetting about AppGratis (because I don't know enough about their business) how do you as a consumer just know that the store owner must be better at curating/rating items for you than a third party who's job that is?

No, you see, Apple taking a 30% kickback is good. AppGratis taking kickbacks is bad. They're completely different scenarios. For one thing, the names of the companies are different.
