I guess. Other platforms (WP7, Android) sandbox their applications equally well and respond to DMCA notices to takedown illegal clones, etc. I don't see that as being unique to the Apple App Store or necessarily a function of their review process.

>So we have a huge number of potential customers who are very comfortable installing a lot of apps and can buy ours by simply entering a password.

And Android doesn't even need that. Nnow anyone can instantly remote install an app from the convenience of their browser. I think even that beats the iTunes value proposition of having a desktop presence.
