I can't imagine that they'll let anyone publish anything through iTunes.
One of the big problems in the casual games market is all the clones of the hit games. PopCap makes Zuma, and the next thing you know there are a bunch of games using the same play mechanic, with a slightly different theme. There's even a pirate version of Zuma called "Pirate Poppers" - and that's by PlayFirst, who did Diner Dash!
So if you're Apple, and you don't want iTunes filled with derivative crap games, do you let 30 clones of Zuma get published? I don't think so.
