Apple’s quality control bottleneck reveals the scaling crisis of AI-assisted app creation—when the cost of building drops to near-zero, the friction moves upstream to gatekeepers. This isn’t just a backend problem; it signals that consumer app markets are entering a phase of massive supply inflation where discoverability and legitimacy verification become the actual scarce resources. The irony is sharp: tools built to democratize creation are instead democratizing noise, forcing platforms to choose between open gates and reliable quality.
