Why would they? The App Store has allowed these developers to create and operate a viable software business, and it's probably made them rich. That wouldn't have been possible if the App Store was not managed correctly.

That's a silly thing to say: obviously some people might profit with an incorrectly managed App Store. For example, many people profit handsomely in very badly managed countries.
If developer profits are your main criteria for a viable app store, you might be doing it wrong. Linux repositories are, on the whole, far better managed than the iPhone app store, and are managed so much better in part by offering no mechanism whatsoever for developers to be directly compensated for their software's use.
