I understand the business move, but I never understood the "cash cow" reasoning. Most apps appear to be in the $2.99 to $.99 range. The 60 cents Apple gains from a $1.99 app barely covers credit card fees (for multiple currencies), bandwidth fees, bank fees to send money to developer, and paying salaries for all those app reviewers.
Occam's Razor suggests that they want to build "only the best apps" so the way to do that is to "completely control the build toolchain". Has nothing to do with "cash cow" conspiracy theories.
