I just don't think they should be doing it so half-assedly... Either don't reject apps that fall short of some stupid 'guideline', or add 'don't produce scammy/confusing apps' to your 'rules' and reject such apps. There are hundreds of apps on the App Store, allegedly allowing you to record your phone calls. Only 1 of them works as far as I've heard (and that works by adding another remote listener to the conversation, in conference mode), or thousands of scammy apps that are supposed to let you change wallpapers, screen savers, put notes in 'lock screen', warm up your hands (by emitting ultra-something rays out of screen!), put more than 4 icons in the dock, create password-protected folders, blacklist phone numbers, auto-response to SMS, you name it. I think every single one of these apps should be removed from the App Store.
Sure, there's no reason why apple shouldn't be able to make subjective quality value judgments. When I go to any retail store, the purchasers have already made hundreds of subjective rejections for me. Some stores are stricter than others, and that's OK.
I like knowing that something I buy at Nordstrom probably won't be complete and utter garbage. If Apple wants to be the Nordstrom of app stores, that's their right.
