If that is the case about the free apps biasing over paid ones due to downloads then how long until Apple at least offer the ability to search a free and a paid chart ala Android. Otherwise this change will only hurt them thru loss of people seeing the lovely paid applications.

Apple makes their money selling hardware, not from the App Store (where they mostly break even): if they aren't doing it already, it would actually be in their best interests to promote free software over paid because it makes users happier with their device purchase.
