Apple would maintain full control. They'd just have a far better working relationship with developers, and higher quality apps because of that.
So sorry you think this is bad.

where did i say that would be bad please?
I defended Apples right to run their business how they want, its so far been almost unbelievably succesful in increasing both product sales and income. so rather than me think I know better I accept that its nothing to do with me and if I dont like it then I'll vote with my wallet.

Android, because of the lack of this kind of gatekeeping is getting generally higher quality apps now. There is a distinctly smaller proportion of the "spammy" apps which plague the iStore are notably missing, or compiled down into single apps (when they're 20 or 100 on the iPhone, literally).
So sorry you hate that.

Im not saying the criticism isnt valid,all opinions have some validity and I do think things done differently could improve things in terms of app approval, they could also make things worse.
When did I say I want lower quality apps please?
I personally dont see that happening at the moment My buddy at work has android phone the original one that is and he loves it but he is yet to either talk about or show me a single app that I cant get or is better than anything on iPhone(admittedly thats in my opinion) YOUR opinion is that apps on android are better, Im not sure how anyone could KNOW that to be honest and any claim is really a bit silly.
I dont hate something that is at best a figment of your imagination.
oh and there are less spammy apps becausethere are less apps percentage wise its insignificantly different. and that is because android appmarket is so small! money wise.
Sonist pointed out apple make around a quarter of a billion from apps and thats only 30%! so that means devs have made over 750 MILLION dollars!
