This is what Apple did in the beginning, too. I felt as you did about it at the time. Six months later things opened up and the rest is history.

Apple didn't start out with a curated store, they started out with "open" HTML5 apps that couldn't do shit.

Today, Apple barely can do quality control on the iOS store, Google essentially doesn't bother, why should a small shop deal with the issue right off the bat?
