Perhaps the author has a slanted view of how open source software tends to work. You often have nightly builds, development (alpha/beta) releases and stable releases. Most people want and use the stable releases. It's true the Mac App Store won't work for distributing the rest. This is hardly surprising and not the way you'd want to distribute this anyway I would think. For stable releases, the App Store guidelines will probably result in more stable software. That's probably a good thing.
