Yes, and my fear is that you will see developers write 

"Fitness & Health" (flipped)
"Health And Fitness" (And instead of &)
...

and that is pretty confusing.

On the other hand, if the dev were to write "health" or "fitness" or "health, fitness" or "fitness, health" that would be parsed as one of two entries which could easily be mapped to a "Health & Fitness" section within existing stores.

If in the future, say Apple wants to create  a new category "Health" separate from "Health & Fitness"  it might be able to re-categorize.

We can handle all of these automatically and avoid developers making mistakes. I already got feedback from the author of outweb.io that he really disliked the "&"
