As a parent I feel much more better about games that Apple has manually curated.
It also gives better gameplay - almost all other other App Store games are mainly designed to make the most money, Apple Arcade games can focus on the best gameplay.
I think Apple Arcade is great. However more high quality games like Oceanhorn 2 would be great.
