Just shut up. I don’t need to call you out on your claim, I don’t need to restate it, explicitly, to clarify the implicit statement here. Just shut up.
You call people stupid then jump down his throat for agreeing with you.
OK, here's a wild theory (based on little to no evidence, admittedly).
Apple extends the Apple App Store to start to include Windows, Linux and Android software.
Won't happen. There is NO way that Apple is going to open their stuff up to other OS. The point of the software is to drive sales to their hardware. They don't want to actively remind folks there are other systems. And they aren't going to waste time and resources on supporting other teams
On iOS you can't delete these system apps, so there is little reason for them being in the store. On OS X you can delete the system apps (if you are clueless & make mistakes) but there is no way to restore them from the App Store. You are left to using Pacifist or working out how to do a system restore.
I don't mind this on iOS, but please get around to adding the ability to restore all system apps on OS X via the Store.
Feel free not to use the App Store if this pisses you off too much.
The concept of UXfriction has been discussed here before.
I hope the app store logic is intelligent enough to detect that I've already been reminded more than a few times, and it will cease when that threshold is met.
Windows nags like a broken record, but it's just another mouse click, eh?
Can we post reviews? Then it would be a useful (to the public) feedback mechanism. The public cannot view the feedback sent to Apple in the normal feedback web pages.
PS: The App Store has been a GUI disaster since iOS 6. I can't believe they haven't replaced it in iOS 7. Do the pages slide like native iOS components yet, or are their gesture behaviors still wrong?

Are you telling me you deliberately misread my post just so you'd be able to comment?
You ignored these caveats: "After all, Apple is a hardware manufacturer that offers software as a side business, in part subsidized by hardware sales. What happens if the cost of hardware continues to drop thanks to vastly improved manufacturing efficiencies (I'm thinking of solid-state, "one piece" electronics and nano-fabrication in the near future). In that case, it makes sense to focus on quality and quantity of software distribution, all via their App Store."
Anyone else find it unusual that all three searches ("movies", "web" and "sms") produce an equal number of results - 2201? Is that a magic number in some way?

Read his post, please. You speak the same language; you know what he’s saying.

That's not very smart.
In this case I'll take the Wiki definition.

If I search for apps will I get a page and link to the App Store app?
I didn't know you like it wet.
Not everyone has eidetic memory for phone numbers.

I use the contacts that are built in the phone app. Is this different than the stand alone app? Am I missing something?

I can barely remember my own phone number!
It IS the standalone app. You can’t have one without the other.
