I know Apple doesn't publicly like the jailbreak community, but I can't seem to think they don't really mind it (well other than the security egg-on-face).
From a product standpoint, apps are features/content (specifically, multiple thousands of little features) for Apple's devices.
The App Store is the default, curated way to get apps for iOS. However, having Cydia around hardly devalues the App Store or it's apps.
Kind of like Microsoft's (and Adobe's) views on piracy for the expansion and domination of Windows (and Photoshop/CS)...

You forgot, Appulous, Crackulous etc... I think that's their problems, not the apps you found on cydia (Except maybe some things like, 3G unrestrictor and things like that)
