If they didn't set the bar that high, a lot more junk would be getting through.

The number of independent iOS Developers that are out there, who make a great living building a few apps and supporting their users grows everyday. They didn't alienate Apple, they reaped the benefits of a well thought out system that works for everyone.

Companies like Square, Stripe value design, and it shows because they ultimately make better products that people want to use.
If you have a startup, find design talent. They are out there and itching to make the next big thing.
Design is way more than a bunch of generic UI elements put together on a page. This will not help you and only further cloud your understanding of what design is, and it will hurt your start-up more than any good it will do.
Trust me.
