The App Store is a big business for sure. The "censorship" angle doesn't really fly. Apple doesn't censor any web content: all websites are accessible via iOS. The App Store is a different matter. Yes, Apple blocks the boobs and the baby-shaking games, like Amazon blocked the "Keep Calm and Rape" t-shirts. That's not censorship, that's a storefront owner exercising common sense in the products they choose to stock. Apple is in good company in limiting what can be installed. Chrome on iOS is hobbled, but Firefox on ChromeOS isn't even a thing, and Google Chromecast is even more locked down. Ultimately it comes down to this: Apple is not a monopoly but a minority player, and iOS users have made a conscious decision because of the value they've found in Apple's ecosystem. If you want access to that market, you have to make your products appeal to that userbase.
