As long as Apple gets its 30% cut, why is Apple incentivized to hire a bunch more staff with healthcare, vacation, and pension benefits who are paid to crack down on this? "Dear AAPL Shareholders, rejoice! We reduced our 30% cut of $10B per quarter from garbage in the App Store by spending over $1B per quarter to hire over 10,000 staff to eliminate these ill-gotten gains."
