Nothing unethical about Apple's implementation, it is however lacking the ability to respond as you mention.
Yes it is difficult. Developer creates a new account, not related to their developer account, downloads app, reviews it. Impossible to prevent. Promo code downloads, yes they could do something here.

The description / whats new / website is for pointing out the features, not the reviews. The inability to answer incorrect reviews / provide support to such users who have not contacted you directly, that is a different matter entirely, and unrelated to reviewing your own apps, other than the only way to do it currently is to buy/download your app and review. The review system is the wrong place to deal with this. You may disagree.
