What's especially bad is that the apps are installed as root and belong to root. This means that removing them causes a password prompt. I wonder if the inexperienced user understands that for installing you need to provide the apple store password, but for uninstalling, you need to provide the admin password of your machine.

Inexperienced users will never notice because they only have one password.

  That depends. My mom and dad share the apple account (why buy all apps twice) but not their machines. I'm going to have a hard time explaining this to them.

    Tells them about Home Sharing. They should be able to share music and apps over multiple accounts.

The inexperienced user probably uses the same password for both... so no problem! :)
