The App Store has always had this "problem". Just like an IT desk can't easily manage, say, 500 iPads. That's really what Windows is built for. Apple is really targeting consumers not enterprise customers.
I'm not talking about large enterprises, I'm talking about small-to-medium creative workshops, a sector where Apple is traditionally very strong in. At my day job, we got a bunch of composers with high-end Mac Pros with Logic Pro installed on them, and believe me, we're very far from being "enterprise". We got producers, graphic designers and so on. These people would rather quit than ever use a PC. My point is, it looks like that the Mac App Store is not intended for this kind of audience, which is a shame because creatives and media people are a very core user group of the Mac, the kind of customers that were loyal to Apple even during its darkest hours in the mid-90's.
