Because, over time, it might not be a cash cow as other stores like Play Store improve and innovate. Your post reads like, why should Microsoft invest in IE after v6? No short term benefit? As if. 5 years is still short term and if Apple can't learn from Microsoft's mistakes then it deserves to lose the market share and eventually the profit.

To Apple's credit, 90% of iPhone users won't switch to Android no matter what. So Samsung and Google can innovate as much as they like, apple's user base is not going anywhere.

That's the whole point of Apple. Vendor lock in.

If Microsoft could have blocked all 3rd party browsers, they could probably still be coasting on IE6 2017 Edition today.
