I suppose I'm a minority opinion, especially with the high YC concentration of developers, but I feel pretty personally gratified by Apple's policies. I don't own an iPhone, but I'm more interested in purchasing one who's App Store is full of quality, innovative applications. You can call it stifling free speech or alienating developers, but I feel like there's at least an attempt internally at Apple to follow the rules they set plus the one, unwritten one of "improve our brand, we worked really hard to make it the way it is". I'm not going to agree with every ridiculous decision that's happened so far, but I will say that the removal of crude sexy apps and cookie cutter RSS feeds makes me more interested in poring through the App Store someday. It's, to me, equivalent to pruning out spammy advertisements. I never mind paying, in attention or money, for craft.
