>Before I switched to OS X, I've never heard of any software being called "apps" on any other platform I used
Maybe you didn't use the TI-83+, which has an "Apps" button on it, and was designed in 1999.
And though I agree that Apple has put a lot of effort into its app store, I feel like saying that they should have sole access to the term is comparable to AOL suing anyone who uses "instant messenger" to refer to something other than AIM.
