Google's corporate philosophy seems to be to reduce manpower needed to run operations to the bare minimum possible, and if something cannot be automated, they prefer not to do it, thus maintaining their high margin of profit.
That's why they try to tweak the search algorithm instead of banning or downranking abusers outright, have no approval process for the Android market, make it next to impossible to reach a human for support for Google Apps, Gmail etc.
That's the reason they have only 29,000 employees, compared to 19,000 in just Motorola Mobility.
So don't hold your breath waiting for the Chrome team to audit extensions or Chrome apps anytime soon.
I wish they could atleast crowdsource some of the work, like allowing search users to label spammy sites and downrank them based on the the collective users' authenticity(calculated from Gmail account's age, usage, Google+ usage) so that spammers can't do the same.
