Apple and the big store – Computerworld

One more thing

For all the criticism it gets, the enduring success of the App Store shows there is a substantial public appetite for curated apps and services. People are hungry for games, apps, and services that meet trust and quality standards.

Given this is true, perhaps Apple could expand its App Store to distribute strictly vetted software and services for other platforms, including those from competitors. 

While unlikely, one day the most popular version of Fortnite might be the one sold via the App Store with an Apple imprimatur to denote verified trust and security. Perhaps you’ll visit the Apple App Store to get your Windows and Android software, confident it has been put through strict quality and security testing. I imagine IT would be pleased with that extra layer of verification, particularly in regulated industries.
