You also realise you don't need the password when updating Apps either...
That's true, unless you have multiple Apple IDs (which I do have), and then you are required to log in to the Apple ID account under which the App was originally purchased. I, for one, want to know up front under which Apple ID I'm about to acquire an app or book or music, etc. Being forced to enter the password is precautionary. Frankly, I think it is a security risk to allow even free apps to be downloaded without requiring a password.
Apple needs to really handle the multiple Apple ID process better. I think the purchase of free apps should not require a credit card, but should always require a password, and an indication under which Apple ID an app will be purchased.
