If you want to assume that since there's no policy against it, and there exist apps that utilize it, that Apple would not for bureaucratic or internal politicking reasons cause problems in the review process because you've only ever heard of this story, that's definitely your right. I believe that due to the numerous stories I've heard about the review process arbitrarily holding up some apps and not others, since they very beginning, and the fact that I believe large companies have lots of internal politicking and divisions competing and managers pulling rank to affect outcomes that the app review process is not always purely policy and technically driven, especially since there's essentially no negative consequences to apple for being arbitrary. I think we just have differing view on the likelihood of certain outcomes and how they combine into a likelihood of the specific outcome in question, so we'll probably just have to agree to disagree.
