Hi Neal, just to clarify, the apps themselves are not backed up. Only your user data pertaining to your apps gets backed up. When you perform a restore, your apps actually redownload from the app store.
This approach makes a fair amount of sense and only has a few downsides, one of which is that if you are holding onto an earlier version of an app which is no longer available in the iTunes Store, you might be forced to update. Also keep in mind that you should not assume that everything on your phone will be stored in a backup (whether iCloud or iTunes). You'll find that certain data is excluded from backups. To give a random example, in the Ootunes radio app, recordings that you've explicitly marked to save permanently, get backed up, but temporary recordings don't.
