And $25 for distribution on the store.

So what, if those $100 prevent shitty copy-cats, the more the better.

It does not in fact prevent anything. There are hundreds of shitty apps in both iOS and Android.

True, that is why Android and feature phones rule in such countries, not iOS, thus making a moot point when customers aren't using Apple devices anyway.
