It's all about brand power. With the podcasts app, Apple has the brand power not the podcasts, so Apple is who users associate the experience with.
If you bought a Dyson vacuum at Target and it was rubbish, you wouldn't later go to a Walmart to buy a Dyson for your mum because you trust Walmart more than Target (ok, contrived example). However if you go to a store and buy generic products that turn out to be shoddy, you're likely to hold it against the store.
