Apparently, the main concern with this is, they're one step closer to locking down the OS (Like the iOS) to only allow software that are digitally signed by Apple, where Apple is taking 30% of the profit from the developers.

Can anyone give me a quick summary of what was said regarding the App Store? Was it implied that Apple is going to lock down the OS in the near future?
No, not even close to implied. They will never lock down the OS. This is an OPTION for Mac developers to put their apps into the store. Traditional methods will still be there. This will help small developers significantly.
