There is too much crap in the store, they need to get it out.

To distribute software the normal way you need to at least be able to register a domain name and run a web site and it seems the bottom 20% of app developers can't do that.

Nope. Github Pages + releases disagree. I know of many applications that are distributed that way. Hexchat for example.
