I do not think the difference here comes from the free/commercial app distinction. According to a few articles I have seen recently, free iPhone apps are not doing well either at AppStore.

IMHO, it comes down to having a store with endless shelves: you can stick zillions of products there but only a chosen few will be actually visible to customers. Search capabilities do not help either, as compulsive buyers do not search.
