This is a pretty cynical and ridiculous view IMO. Why does it have to be some nefarious move on the part of Apple? Isn't a much more logical reason that iOS is attracting a lot of attention, and the vast majority of apps for any platform are bad or amateur? Also, if the WP7 store is any indication it will be sparse and most apps will be of low quality. It's not a choice between vast and terrible and small and focused. iOS has plenty of great apps too.
