Apple risks driving away anyone who was considering iPhone development as their primary source of income; it's pretty risky to put all your eggs in one basket when the owner of that basket has a habit of spilling a large portion of its contents. What I think I'd do if I was Apple is to provide a two-tier app store. Tier 2 apps would be only be checked to see that they're not malicious or destructively buggy. Tier-1 apps would be strictly reviewed for quality and performance, and would presented to the user as such. There would be a submission fee to get an app verified as Tier-1.
