Let's assume we agree with both premises - the free market has decided the value of apps, and the free market does not always produce the best results. Since "the free market has decided" means the people participating in that market have made such a decision, there's two strategies you can take - persuasion and coercion. You can already apply most methods of persuasion through the free market - are there any that you think are unable to thrive in it? For coercion, people are naturally resistant to it, even when it is "good for them". Do you think it is a worthwhile investment to spend political capital on laws, regulations, enforcement etc to apply such coercion? Maybe if we use one of the subtler methods, i.e. taxation and subsidy? There's also the problem of the 1A which tends to negate most government action you can take in this sphere.
