What makes you think mechanism that is used to install applications from Apple store can't be equally exploited as the mechanism that's used to install applications from a file? It's the same mechanism.
I'm not saying it can't, but the attack surface is significantly reduced.
I disagree. If anything Apple failing to detect new kind of malware and approving malicious application is easier route. Simply because people see the description and trust the source infinitely and click install.
