I would advocate for Apple and other app marketplaces to adopt the carrot and not the stick. Incentive App developers who make good and substantial updates, whether its new features or updating to newer system APIs, with a positive % modifier to their search results in the App store. This way well-maintained Apps should show up higher in search rankings and there's a natural incentive for developers to keep their programs maintained. But at the same time, this would allow developers to call a program "finished" and leave it on the store without being scared of having their hard-work destroyed. Their hard-work might not be as visible, but that would be on them.
