Why does Apple allow software by a dev who's pocketing the money but not supporting the app (which hasn't been updated in 7 years) to be sold on the App Store?

I wondered the same thing. Shareware gives us many good software choices that don't cost an arm and a leg, but it won't be there if we don't support it. If this kind of thing is allowed, people are unfortunately going to be disinclined to pay for the shareware and, eventually, there will be less and less. That hurts both us and the developers.
