Now that Apple is rejecting apps from huge software companies (even business partners in the case of Google), they're destroying the credibility of the platform. The technology and tools they provide developers are first class, but the increasingly erratic and anti-competitive app rejections will drive away business interest. I really hope Apple smartens up. They have a game-changing device, mobile OS, and distribution platform, but their bullish business tactics are destroying innovation.

In a way, I am glad that Apple is now rejecting apps from huge software companies and their business partners. In the near-term, you are right that this might create uncertainty for the viability of businesses leveraging the platform. But nothing will hasten Apple smartening up than having large companies with deep pockets clamoring for change in the App store approval/rejection process.
