Since he has control over pricing, couldn't he submit with a free price tag, and change it to something insanely high once accepted. That way no sane person would buy it, and he'd still prove his point.
He _had_ to submit an app and get it in for this to work ofcourse, otherwise this was a moot point. And it's a good wakeup call to everyone. Security awewareness helps sometimes unfortunately when you make a splash.

Otherwise, while I think you've got a point (he could have used pricing to ensure no one ran his app), that isn't the issue here. The disclosure is. No one is contending he did something evil with his code, it's that Apple is mad about his code and disclosure. I don't think making it unlikely to be purchased would have helped.
