I love the fact theres loads of markets. While yes, it is, more work for the developer to submit too, its far better in the long run for the consumers and the whole android ecosystem.
Markets can experiment with different layouts, styles, ratings, and specialties. This is only just starting really but should become a big thing in the long run. With the huge amount of rubbish submitted, how do you get results relevant to what the consumer is searching for? To me that seems a problem just as big as search ever was, and isn't going to be fully solved by any one company. Google's own market leaves a lot to be desired, but that only highlights how great it is that people can come up with alternatives. Of course, not many of the alternatives are any good, but it is early days still really.
