Aside from obvious quality benefits, the review process is a good thing because it results in users having more trust in apps developed by relatively unknown developers/companies.
I challenge you to find a popular dicionary that isn't carefully curated. You can't just call up Webster and get a word added to the dictionary, there's a vetting process it has to go through.

I'm not sure all of us see the quality benefits quite so obviously. Are you implying that dictionaries with censored words are better quality?

Curated != Censored.
Apple having a repository of approved apps is fine. Denying the ability to run other apps isn't.
