While I'm not interested in getting into a semantic argument around something arbitrary like what "getting the web" means, unless I'm missing something (which is absolutely possible!) I don't think it's fair to compare the Apple App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/ios/id36?mt=8) to the Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps?hl=en). One of these is clearly baked for the web, and one of these is not.
Also, as an aside, if I have missed something and there is a better app store experience for Apple please let me know - I just chose the top result searching for "Apple App Store".
The Apple exchange doesn't appear to be a particularly notable standout, really. Gr8pop Ltd is far more amusing because there is some back-and-forth, but still there's not much to see beyond profanity and entertainment value (depending on your viewpoint).
It's a biased selection but, Google's Page Rank certainly says that the public tends to "link" the term 'App Store' to 'Apple' in a pretty consistant manner
His article says that the answer is in the 4th result, the first that actually includes both of his search terms. But if you read that article, it's actually saying that Twitter's app has no retina support, and Deluge is mentioned elsewhere on the page, with nothing about retina support.
I still hate Apple for buying lala.com. "lala" was my generic google search when testing out working Internet connection. "Lala - where music plays" was something that I was used to see... until Apple shut it down.
Google is worse than Apple in many regards.
