Why? I think I disagree with this decision. What is different between
listing an app on a store and linking to a website? Unless you have to
pay for the app, they are fundamentally the same action. Presumably
google search can be used for apps, no?
Also, what is to stop a particular implementation from simply ignoring
install_allowed_from for free apps?
Nothing, like for many other things you trust your UA. And yes, an
add-on can also override the behavior if you want so.
Bad web crawlers also ignore robots.txt. Hopefully most users are on a
"good" UA.
I'll draw one last analogy - we don't host add-ons on AMO without the
authors permission, even though we may really want to :)
