Two thoughts: In this era of ultra cheap/free software and hardware, even formerly reputable companies are likely to find alternate revenue stream irresistible. Apple's review process is most likely largely a PR illusion. Just look at all the stories of how inconsistently and arbitrarily they've enforced App Store policies over the last decade. That's not to say that they are not sincerely trying, I'm sure they are. Unfortunately, Apple has become even more opaque about many things (the 'security' obtained via the app review process always seemed a bit hand-wavy and superficial to me). I'm sure they'll continue to improve but the the bad guys will always be a step ahead because they must be.
