Shouldn't better search or discovery algorithms or UI, be a more elegant solution than just brute-forcing a paywall into it?
Think of the children. I mean, seriously, how many of us were young highschool hackers who would have just loved the opportunity to build something awesome for smartphones. But would be halted by Apple's fine?

But the tools are way better -- and way cheaper, even after the $99 -- than they were when I was a young highschool hacker.

That's always the dream, but recommendation algorithms are hard. And can get much harder when you have a small number of positives, which is presumably what would happen if Apple removed the fee.
