I would say the title is misleading. Their developer account was cancelled because they violated the NDA. Apple didn't "pull the app", the app becoming unavailable is just a side effect of the dev account being cancelled.
iFixit could get the app back in the store in a few days by signing up for a new dev account. But they don't want to do that because, as they say, the app is buggy and they want to focus on the mobile site anyway.
So, the title is clickbait. Apple didn't censor the iFixit app. But no one would read an article titled "Apple terminates developer account after contract violation".
