No big deal. If one wanted to exploit NSMenuExtra with an App Store app, a separate web downloadable "plugin" would be able to take over this sort of "verboten" functionality. Coordination via group container IPC would make this work (eg plugin present ? Tell plugin to do its thing and don't show the menu : fallback to crappy NSStatusBar). "There's always a legal way around any rule."
