I really don't understand your point here, unless it's just to throw out a red herring. You object to them having a store, or you object to them determining the content of that store? Since they aren't a government agency or Congress, First Amendment rights don't apply. Am I upset that they blocked a stupid app like "I am Rich?" No. Am I upset that they block useful apps that may have legitamate uses, yes, but it is THEIR store, and it is THEIR right, and if you think that any other corporations won't exercise their right to limit what is available in THEIR store, then I think you're naive.
