Try to remember Im not saying the way apple have managed the store and approval process are perfect or even great, what I will say is that so far they have been very sucessful and devs with good apps have made a lot of money and its up to apple what they do.
If I open a game shop and choose not to sell 18 rated games thats my choice If I decide not to sell games that I dont like for my own personel reasons that change each week then thats my choice! It should be no different for Apple.

Manage their store they can, but there is a limit to how you should do it legally and ethically. If in your hypothetical store you decide not to sell 18+ games you are in your right, if you choose to take pre-orders on that games and then tell customers that you rejected that game from your store and have a nice chunk of interest on their money - it's unethical. If you in your store decide not to sell games from and to certain ethnic groups - that would be illegal.
So what I am driving at Apple store is Apple store, but we can expect them to act ethically and legally. Otherwise those posts occur.
