This is an advantage of the android style permission system in this case, the 'Services that Cost you Money' section could reveal this dodgy behavior quite easily.

Apple could make this much more obvious than it is. Would be a good improvement to the app store.

Are you kidding me? They make it extremely obvious.
Apps with in-app purchases have a giant message on the App Store that, upon clicking, brings you to a list of things the application has for sale.
Not to mention there's a restriction on iOS devices that allow you to turn off in-app purchases all together.
It's like blaming Comcast because your child purchased expensive pay-per-view material when you could have easily blocked the channel.
