Isn't Apple an OS vendor, one with a history of not approving apps that compete with what Apple has already done, and of taking existing apps off the market when Apple rolls out their own version?

True, and the fact that they are very clear about it seems to make a difference.

Also, they have a marketplace that has helped lots of developers already.

The point is, whatever Apple is doing, is not as bad as the "is not ready until Lotus/Novell/etc doesn't run" that MS did in the past.
