It just means the garbage will be submitted by people with $100. There's plenty of junk on the iOS App Store which has the same developer license required.

There's plenty of junk on the Mac App Store already. So yeah.

Can you imagine the volume of junk without $99?

Also it helps pay for the reviewing of apps, although they still take a loss on running the appstore, last I heard.

Market costs $25 to submit to, as well.
