I appreciate that the author is calling this out and takes the time to understand what Apple is trying to accomplish. I wish there were more discussion of details as to what's going on in specific cases.
I hope that there's more to the story, that these government orgs are reaching out to Apple and that there's some dialog going on to try to remedy the situation. I understand that dealing with the App Store can be frustrating, but it's still a course of action. And it wouldn't be the first time that the App Store policies have changed. The author makes a similar call at the end of the piece. I find it a little surprising that someone who happens to know enough about the situation to write a post would also not know details of at least one case. It seems feasible that Apple could put in place a policy to, say, whitelist specific vetted accounts. I would be disappointed to find out that there isn't some ongoing dialog going on. However, neither this post nor the referenced June 22 Fortune article provide any additional information.
If anyone knows more about this, I'd appreciate it.
