I think it will be fine, but the one big worry that I have, is that I expect a significant percentage of these "alternatives" to point to scams.

That will put Apple in another hot spot. If someone reports that an approved app has scam links in the app, will Apple be on the hook to block the app? If they do, will that, then open them up to charges? What about if they don't?

I have been quite impressed with the ingenuity of scammers. The Apple customer base is a lucrative target. I am constantly getting hijack attempts and phishing scams, aimed at my AppleID.
