Developers in particular like to know what spot on the charts their app got to. By not filtering the results everyone has a definitive view of the placement of these apps.

So they should filter the top list like you mention, but show a definitive list online.

This could be provided as a separate option on iTunes connect. If it was purely to cater for developers it doesn't need to be in the main app store interface.

This isn't a complex UX problem. Let me choose if I want to see apps I don't have or overall. Set the default as apps I don't have.
