A $1000 fee, or fees per download, gets rid of hobbyists, passion projects, and open source apps. For example [Bookplayer.](https://github.com/TortugaPower/BookPlayer)

It should be worth it to Apple to review and host these apps just to benefit the platform which leads to users purchasing their products. The current $99 fee I imagine covers their costs to review and host most of these types.
