The reason MAS is a ghost town I have always assumed was because of the MAS limitations and that unlike iOS devs aren’t required to use the store. iOS and macOS are totally different so you’d still have to develop custom ui’s though Apple could certainly help to make it easier to develop for both platforms at once. But even then MAS would remain mostly a desert until they even change limitations or require all apps to be from MAS which would be nearly impossible, especially for business customers.
