It's a risk. But then, there's also a risk that someone else will put out a better equivalent app first and win all the mindshare. Or that many different equivalent apps will ship first, and their app will have a hard time getting noticed.

Apple (and corporations in general) shouldn't be able to artificially influence how a (sub)market functions. If this is accepted, I think the only logical way to stop these situations from occurring is via legislation or regulation. It's not an ideal solution, but then - the alternative (of doing nothing) is even less ideal in my opinion.
