I've heard anecdotally that Steve Jobs helped write those guidelines, and the "amateur hour" line in particular sure sounds like him. I don't mean that in a disparaging way; Jobs could certainly be a jerk, but there are times I wish more CEOs were willing to be that blunt in official communication.

And to be honest it make sense in the early days. Jobs wanted the absolute best Apps in the Apps Store.

Situation now is different though. Jobs would likely have some human touch in the current situation. Where as Tim Cook feels less so.
