Apple's goal is to provide a great experience.
Searching for a thing and having to wade through a bunch of crapware or install some scammy garbage is not a good experience, let alone a great one.
So even though it's not necessarily Apple's "Fault", it is in their best interest to fix it.
It's also good developer relations, something they need to focus on a bit more. This is one of the places where Apple can really be focused to demonstrate the value developers are getting for that developer commission.
