The App Store is not the delivery mechanism for this attack, so no.

I think the argument is that having a completely open App Store would increase the attack surface, since the average user will click any install icon.

I think the greater argument to be made is that it doesn't matter, since iOS has had no-click zero-days for longer than it's had an App Store.
