"Apple's AppStore, Windows Store, Intel's AppUp Store"
I didn't even know about Intel's AppUp Store. I'm surprised that store would be mentioned when Google Play Store is much more popular imo... dare I say somewhat bias?

To write nifty app and see how people benefit from it. It would... I guess...

Or lack of the administration - if possible.
I can tell you from experience that the biggest hurdle in developing apps for various App Stores today is administrative team that reviews apps. Sometimes it takes more than a MONTH to get your application reviewed and published - and dealing with those guys "behind the scenes" easily gets extremely stressful. If you ever dealt with PayPal support, you have general idea what I am talking about.

The option "I don't write apps for an App Store" is missing.

Ok, then the answer is 'other', like a gun being pointed at me or a visit by Apple's or Microsoft's goon squad.

My vote was "because I was told I have to" for that very reason (although I didn't think of a gun to the head, hmmmm...).
That is the only (legal) reason I would do it.

Oh, it's perfectly legal to program something when you are at the wrong end of the gun. Holding the gun is another thing, but we would not ever do something like that.

Maybe if HP needed an app store for OpenVMS I could lend a hand. Or is CP thinking of getting in the market? I hope not, the articles seem to be going OK.

I've worked on mobile apps before; but they've all been proprietary and distributed by enterprise app servers, not anything publicly available to the riffraff.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Fame?!? 
Can someone explain this to me?

Well, someone might assume they will become famous after releasing a popular application for an App store. Of course, they will be wrong  , but then again most people who try acting or singing are driven by the same motivation and they also get disappointed.

I cannot see any possible inducemnt that would come close to taking me down that road.
It is...
Too much investment.
Too little return.
Too short term.

Fairly simple:
"Too much investment"
As you correctly deduce, I have no experience in making them. So there's an expensive learning curve and capital investment. Set that against what I do now, and it's a non-starter.
"Too little return"
My younger son has been down this path, and after a few Andoid apps. has gone back to web development, having failed to come up with a killer app.
"Too short term"
It's a fast moving market. How long is the life of an average app, or even the platform upon which it runs.
The app that earns my company the most income, went out to our first customer in 1994, the same year as the first commercial SMS message in Europe and 2 years before the first in the USA.
The second earner on my company's list saw the light of day in 1988.
That's how I know.
I'll leave "App Store app development" to the others, and do what I do best.
