Ebay doesn't vet its products either.

Let's compare apples to apples. ;)
Download.com tests every software product for malware and spyware. Google tests websites for malware and trojans before listing them on their SERPs and puts a warning screen up before letting you visit the site.

It makes sense to control the quality of apps offered for the Android set because the user experience is at stake.
