I can see where it could be to the disadvantage of us 3rd party developers if those with bigger pockets could buy their apps multiple times with the goal of pushing up it's ratings. But it would be nice to be able to buy it once just to have that last confirmation that everything was good.
Regardless, I wish this would be confirmed by the Google folks and was a WELL documented "feature", like right there on the Developer Console page, or at least in a FAQ somewhere.
