I'm not sure what is dishonest unless the product mis-represents itself. Crippleware was big in the shareware scene all through the late 80s and 90s and still works today.
Perhaps Apple could allow a new category, but it is an honest model.

Most cripple-ware wouldn't give you a fully-functioning product: save didn't work, print had "UNREGISTERED" (or worse) emblazoned over it.
Having a great, polished level for free and the opportunity of buying more isn't my idea of crippleware. There is no feeling of being cheated and no "if only".
