Not necessarily. Apple has refocused the App Store on a smaller number of titles. Those titles are probably seeing big gains, at the expense of others which depended on the subcategories. Short term, it could be a net financial positive for Apple. But long term I believe it would hurt them by driving away many ISVs. It's too risky to develop for the iPhone if you don't know whether people will ever be able to find your app!
