I think the App Store does well on ios because it's the only way to load apps onto those devices, but I don't think it works as well on OS X. (I've found that most apps I install on my mbp aren't from the App Store). I suppose, for everyday consumers (ie: less tech savvy), the experience may be different. Anyway, I think developers will go where they think it's cool. And also, they'll go where they can get the most market share (and hence higher ROI potential). If that were to be an open platform, then so be it. In this case, it's not so open.
