> Apple definitely doesn't need these scammy apps around for it's own benefit. I guess you're saying Apple is very rich, so they don't need the cut of scam apps that are top-grossing? That makes sense, but it's the opposite of the framing I was thinking: if Apple is making money off of the scams along with the scammers, that doesn't set up a very strong incentive for Apple to remove these. I completely agree with you about 3rd party downloads and review transparency.
