If that's true, what's the longterm viability of the market as a whole? Intuitively for dev services to succeed here it must be true that [shrink-wrap app model profitability] >> [service model profitability].

That only works if you think of apps as traditional software with the App Store as a traditional store. Apps are closer to websites: a few are very profitable on their own, most are just a neccessary part of a larger business.
