Apple has to verify that each app doesn't:
contain malware/spyware
have significant bugs
have poor quality/bad UI

Apple also has to make sure that it doesn't contain offensive material or material not suitable for minors.

It's all about quality and assuring that they are doing the best that they can to keep the end user happy.
