Doesn’t App Store utilization by both end users/consumers and perhaps more importantly developers, who make apps for end users, reflect indirectly in the share price?

If this were the case, the revenue to app developers in this instance could motivate Apple to not discourage this type of confusion.

I doubt leaving a BP app on there has any influence at all.

You're just restating the original point in a more convoluted way. Yes, Apple makes money from scams such as this. No, it's unlikely to be anywhere near the amount where it would matter, even in aggregate.
