There's a toggle (in Settings > App Store, iirc) to ask for auth only on non-free (as in beer) apps/IAPs.

Edit: apparently there's no toggle if you have Touch ID enabled. You have to disable it for the App Store for this to work, but I think Touch ID is fast enough anyway...

True, but those savvy enough to find that will probably notice when an application requests a password artificially.
