Thats the price to pay for convenience.
It's not even convenience. It's an app store. You literally pay for stuff there.
It doesn't even fit into the "if you don't pay you're the product" stuff because it's not any more free than your local grocery store. Google just goes that far because they can.
If I change the word 'convenience' to 'ecosystem,' does it make you happy?
