That's true, but I don't think their goal was to weed out crappy apps. I think what they really wanted was to keep the platform exclusively their control, to remove the possibility of a 3rd-party SDK getting popular, lagging behind Apple's SDK and slowing down or interfering with the platform's progress.
The 3.3.1 change will keep lazy developers from making crappy Flash ports, but it won't automatically make lazy developers care about quality.
Apple is in a tough spot here, they get complaints about app quality and complaints about rejecting apps, they alienate people no matter what they do. I hope they find a way to regulate quality better without pissing off many more people, but that might not even be possible.
