But it doesn't work that way. This implementation is a must, and thankfully Apple has done it. What you say is right, you won’t know where there is a better deal, or about the bad developers.

So if the application is updated since then, the customer will know that okay, things might have changed since the time this review was written. Apple is definitely trying to get in good books with the community with this gesture. This will to a certain extent please some of the developers.

You should be the owner of a product before you can review it; or at least have used a demo. Since there are no demos for purchased apps so far, then this is a good way to handle it. I suppose Apple could also mark a review indicating whether the review owns the app or not and have separate ratings for owners and non-owners, but that might be too much complexity.
