That’s unclear. A couple of things to consider, both of which are helping scammers currently:

- A lot of users let their guard down because they blindly trust Apple’s marketing, and scammers take advantage of that.

- The fake ratings and reviews are making this even worse by leading people to believe other people have found some of these scams valuable.

I can see how a more trustworthy ratings system and a more honest marketing of the App Store for what it really is, could lead to fewer scams, even if Apple doesn’t control the App Review process so tightly - or doesn’t control it all.
