Mac App Store denial

Given that this is a little tool that sits in the menubar, I suspect this is an example of an app that simply doesn't fit the model of app that Apple wants the store to be focused on.

I agree. I use a Lorem Ipsum generator (a web site, but I want better) but would not use this one. The menu bar is really the wrong place, and aspects of its user interface perplex me. Growl Notifications? What on earth for?

The Services menu would be appropriate, but after rounding, zero users know it exists.

Yeah, it's perfect for a Service. (And the Services menu should really be in the right-click menu.)

This is what I thought, too. I wonder if this was implemented as a Service, if Apple would see it in a better light.

(App menu -> Services, if you're wondering what I'm talking about.)
