The OP listed ios apps that are free and mostly serve as ways to make it easier for people to buy a company's products. Why would anyone pay for those apps?

JetBlue, SPG, etc. are hiring developers to develop apps and are giving those apps away in order to increase the revenue and profitability of JetBlue, Starwood, etc. Users are not paying developers for these apps. Instead of using the apps, people could go to the companies' web sites, but that's not as convenient.
