How about those book publishers who attempt to milk their printing presses by publishing multiple titles? Or bloggers who attempt to milk their blogging software by publishing multiple articles?

The other thing to consider is when will all of our home screens get overly bloated? If developers continue to make apps that are single-serving, we'll have hundreds upon hundreds of these apps that we want on our devices. I don't want it to get to the point where Apple has to add the ability to have even more home screens, where it would then take a couple minutes to find an app!

Of course, but would you really want to use a more advanced menu just to find a single-serving app on a mobile device?
