Really? So you'd like to be actively prevented from purchasing your first app on any new device you purchase in the future?

Of course. A simple email with a confirm link would solve this.

Email to what, your @me.com email that the attacker may very well have access to?

Preferably my Google Apps account, for which I have two factor auth enabled. Or perhaps my SmartCard enabled work email. Or even my SMS 2-factor Facebook email.

It's a numbers game; it would help people without an @me.com account or with a secondary email address.
