Yours truly details why the Coathangr iPhone app was rejected:

Devin Reams explains how to use Google Voice as a middle-man for calls. I love stuff like this, even if it doesn't benefit me directly as an AT&T customer.

As with most things, I blame Alex King. His post about re-tweeting wasn't the first such condemnation of the practice, but it did inspire similar feelings in those close to him, culminating in today's launch of Retweeters Anonymous by Gordon Brander.
From Alex's rant:
