Making 1$ is not the point. Same way as writing single line of code is not the point of the recipe about how to deal with writer block that says "write single line of code".
Also problem with too many crappy games and do little awesome games cant be solved by telling people go stop making bad games and instead focus and make more awesome games.
I believe it's more about encouraging a lot of people to write as many games as they can and build better mechanisms for discovery of awesome games.
When I first saw android market (I skipped the iphone) I was amazed how idiotically simple it was. Newest and highest ranked, few categories and that's all? How am I supposed to find anything amusing for myself with such crude tools. After few hours of using it I could suggest 4 or 5 improvements that would make my experience there immensely better.
I'd like to have something like jinni.com for games. Something that understands what games are and who I am and how those two things relate.

Google obviously doesn't give a damn about games, even less than apple does. The play market is a disaster for discover-ability.
