At the time Vesper was written, iCloud sync was not reliable. It's gotten better (good enough for many apps to proudly use it), but by that point Vesper had lost its dev. There had also been issues around this time with Dropbox changing the way the SDK presented information. A small change, but one that ran afoul of Apple's In-App Purchases guidelines. Debate the merits of the conflict all you want; it was still an issue everyone wanted to avoid at the time. Basically, you're not wrong, but I believe the devs made the best decision they could at the time they wrote the app.
