Apple doesn't care about the distribution of apps. Gatekeeper makes that abundantly clear. Please present a cogent argument that takes that under consideration.

Apple doesn't care about the distribution of apps. Gatekeeper makes that abundantly clear. Please present a cogent argument that takes that under consideration. Apple, however, doesn't want to be on the hook for maintaining and supporting and spending bandwidth on users who haven't given them a cent. I can't blame them. Again, I'd love to be granted the ability to bless "legacy users" into the Mac App Store, but I also don't understand why Apple has any incentive to ever allow me to do so. It costs them money and resources, with absolutely no benefit in return. Why do you think they have an incentive?
