I can see the problem. If every app is self updating than hackers just need to break some small of single developer account (one of the thousands) and be able to deliver working payloads. Which will leave users defenseless because of the security models employed on the smartphones.
And still a javascript based app can self update with eval.
Edit: Just to clarify. I do not approve walled gardens or feudal models of security. I believe that every user should have the full control of the devices and its security be his own problem.
