In both cases the existence of relevant "tools" de-skills the uploader task.
Demonizing one tool while giving a friendly nod n wink to the other ( google Alf is a well tolerated comment here ) is not really defensible

The difference is that no one is claiming that someone uploaded a license-freed app (although they do). In this case the user downloaded the licensed app *that they did not pay for and still has the license check* and used the tool to remove that license check. I submit again that this is very different from downloading a book I paid for then removing DRM so I can read the book.
Good luck with running Alf's tools on a DRMed book you didn't buy.
