The issue is that developers can't really update their app just yet for a number of reasons. First of all, if you update your app now the launch image and other things may look weird on ios 6. Also things may change in ios 7 between now and the final release.

Also bear in mind that (at least up to beta 4) there were quite a lot of bugs in ios 7 that the developers couldn't do anything about.

Pretty much every app will need to be updated for ios 7. It's a real shitstorm. Apple has created a bunch of work for every ios developer and broken all existing apps, and it's not really an improvement in my opinion.

Also because submitting a binary built with prerelease/beta tools is a guaranteed instant rejection. This should be well known for anyone running iOS 7 beta, since they're supposed to be "developers" :-/

While I don't disagree, they also haven't updated their design in 6 releases (and as many years). The changes mostly aren't breaking ("it looks weird/old" is better than "it's broken"), and a refresh is much needed to reenergize the ecosystem.
