I don't hear independent developers griping that Apple is failing to advertise their apps and bring those apps to the attention of iPhone users. Instead, I hear independent developers griping that Apple is preventing their apps from being run on iPhones.

Therefore, I completely disagree. This is purely a matter of data storage space (cheap and nigh infinite), not a matter of limited attention.

I hear the opposite of you. There are very few serious apps whose code Apple is preventing from being run.

There are huge numbers of good apps on the store that don’t get visibility.
