Ethics are objective now? I personally think it's a dodgy move on Apple's part, but I think the knee-jerk reaction is over the top, particularly given how Apple's policies on in-app-purchase are still quite nascent.
It's easy to castigate this as a monopolistic move intended to benefit iCloud, but the reality is that Dropbox and iCloud aren't directly competing services. Really this is about how third-parties offer purchasable services from within iOS. There is a trade-off to be made between what offers the best user experience and what is practical for third-parties though, so I have to imagine Apple will eventually be more flexible.
