I absolutely hate this idea. It's supply and demand, make an app that's amazingly better then anything else on the market and charge more for it. The fact that developers constantly re-skin games/apps and then cry that the app store is ruined because of saturation is bs. If customers are not buying an app that's $5, its not worth $5, no matter how much value you "think" it has.

What idea do you hate? The article conclusion is:

> Spending money on great apps means not only do you get great apps now, but you’re also essentially investing in great apps later. Let’s fix the App Store economy, and let’s start by paying for apps without shuddering at $4 price tags.

He didn't say pay $4 for crap. He said "great apps".

(See my Genesia example elsewhere in this thread, which most customers will never discover because it's not in the top 20, not promoted by Apple ... and not free to rank for downloads with in-app purchases to drain your wallet if you dare trying to play it.)
