Most definitely.

How can they refuse to attempt to recreate the AppStore 'success' on the desktop (OS)? For a chance to get 30% of ALL software revenues and get all of the potential control and information that goes through their system.

I'm not gonna go into the 'evilness' of it, it's just a rational thing to do for a(ny) profit oriented company. There are pros and cons to this system.
