As a user, I love the fact that the App Store has an extra pair of eyes to at least try to keep some consistency. It may suck for iOS developers but as an end user it feels safer than Android.

Yeah... have to disagree there... I don't think they do nearly the QA/QC that their pricing model would have you believe. They'd have to just flat charge $100 for every time you submit a new app version for it to be that way, or closer to it and that would require much smaller cut of revenue to make sense. Meaning less overall money to apple, but higher quality over quanity.

For a practical example, see what LinkedIn did a few years back... I trust nobody, and am largely disinclined to install any/most applications.

What did LinkedIn do a few years back?

They setup an email proxy on people's phones to capture all the mail going in and out.

Wow that made me slightly laugh. Ok now I've read a bit, at least people had to do sth to get it installed, but still...

You meant the Intro app I suppose,
