It doesn't matter how many bad apps there are when nobody wants or sees or uses them. There's also a lot of precedence with domain names and the iOS App Store for a pay-to-participate fee not really preventing bad actors from paying to participate.

The Google Play Store ($5), iOS App Store ($100/yr), probably almost every big online service have experienced substantial term and law violations so it's obviously ineffective as a preventative measure.
