How could Apple possibly prevent a sufficiently covertly malicious application from entering the app store?

They can't. And they really are quite liberal in their screening for the most part. But they are trying to provide a good experience for their customers.

But if they can't, then what you said was basically wrong. The app store totally lets you make malicious applications. Seems like security theatre to me.
