Apple absolutely has to address the payment problems, or they are going to have a crisis of confidence.
So far, they have enjoyed an unparalleled level of trust - one which perhaps was not deserved.
They need to establish policies that will earn them the level of trust that, say, Amazon has within the affiliate marketplace. Amazon is the one affiliate program that nobody has any qualms about. (Even so, you should see how they will rant and rave if their payments are one day late, LOL!) But the thing is, they are seldom one day late. (Oh, they have had issues in the past, but I think resolved.)
If they are going to involve the little guy, then they need to have policies that are friendly to the little guy. And that means keeping their end of the bargain, and not making excuses about payment systems that are beyond their control. They need to provide multiple payment systems, so that everybody can get paid efficiently and on-time.
