Apple Charging to Keep Apps in Store

How does the annual fee weed out spammers exactly? Are there examples on Android of the kind of spam apps you're worried about?

Spammers are less likely to keep their apps in the store if there’s an ongoing cost. Or to submit it at all, if the initial cost is high enough.

It's much harder for them to be anonymous when they had to get their credit card out.

I'm not trying to be combative but... doesn't Google's one-time fee to make an account do that just as effectively? Or an annual $10 fee, or whatever?
