    Fine, we'll add another step:

    0.) Super Happy Awesome Funtime XIV app claims to be from S-E themselves. People don't know the difference; they got to the download site through a QR code.

    You don't protect yourself from social engineering by assuming you're immune to social engineering.

    As far as Apple's Appstore goes, SE is in there as a developer. Good luck getting their name to show up above your shoddy app.
    Android's marketplace is just a mess as it is, so I won't even get into that.
