I prefer that Apple stick to their guns and developers admit that the App Store represents a cost of doing business, just like having to pay rent for a retail space.
These guys are demanding that a land developer spend the time and money to develop a mall, and then offer up free rent for all of the tenants. Yeah, that will work.

It's a two-way street though. Without app developers, Apple's ecosystem loses value.
