You make it sound like corporate censorship is without consequences, but it isn't. You can push back against it, you can pick a different platform in protest.

Governmental censorship is a problem because you can't easily switch governments, plus there's things like charters and constitutions that are put in place to prevent it. Corporations have not adopted this sort of thing, at least not yet.
The problem with the App Store is it's similar to a retail chain. Is it "censorship" that Wal-Mart won't carry your product? Is it "censorship" that McDonald's doesn't sell Whoppers? The same people that argue for freedom in app stores would be railing against the government if there was some mandate that Wal-Mart allow anyone to sell any product.
