Ironically the Mac App Store itself is basically just a WebView in a window, and you're essentially browsing a website (DOM and JS and everything) with extra privileges with the host OS.

I don't see the irony there. And even if there's one, that's irrelevant anyways, the important thing is what's sold thru the app store.
