Don't you think it is the developer's responsibility to provide a demo/trial if they wish?


No, because it would be difficult to do without OS support. Each developer would have to write their own time bomb code, and come up with a way to protect against users just deleting and reinstalling the app over and over.

Plus the whole process would be much smoother if baked right in to the app store.
