To be fair, all iOS internal Apple apps that you can remove are like this in the app store. And although they appear to be decoupled from iOS completely, updates aren't pushed out through the App Store either.
- dbbk 9y agoI don't think they are really decoupled from iOS. Updates are still delivered through iOS updates. I think it's in the App Store because when people remove it from their homescreen, the logical place they're going to search for it to bring it back would be searching in the App Store. But it's not an actual app delivered by the App Store, if that makes sense.
- josephxanderson 9y agoThe only reason I say this is because it appears it does actually have to download back onto your device. So I'm not totally sure.
