It's an option, but how many people would want to jailbreak an "open platform" just to use a third party application installer and/or updater?
My main concern is that Marketplace seems to be an obvious example of where a bundled app is getting an unfair advantage just because it's an approved application. This would also extend to diallers, from what hackbod has said it would appear that any dialler written by a third party won't be able to call emergency services, which is kind of crazy. imho, on an open platform all apps should be equal.
