You can buy Apple gift cards in other stores too

But not directly the apps. I can, however, for example buy codes for individual xbox games from different vendors.

Right, but I feel that this method of distribution is very similar to gift cards in that the retailer has no control over pricing, promotions, etc. additionally, these codes cannot be re-used.
