At which point it is cheaper for the commercial developer to choose another platform. Seriously, few will want to to pay money on development, Ovi/publishing, advertising just to find themselves alongside an army of free apps so you could make that decision. Commercial devs want to maximize profit, so they'll just go AppStore instead as it has a better ROI in that case.
