OK, clearly these claims of benefits are overstated. Both the iOS and Mac stores have obvious scam apps, that are ironically easy to find with Apple’s own search when other things are much harder to find. And since their search lacks even simple filters, I can’t start building a list of “never show me This Developer’s Trash again” like I can on Steam for instance. Recently when Apple sent out a developer survey, I told them to get rid of App Review. Completely. As a process, it fails. It clearly has shoveled a disgusting amount of money over to thieves and scam artists. Meanwhile, I’ve been rejected multiple times for ridiculous reasons that took days to resolve. Even in 2019, I am utterly shocked if Apple manages to process an update in under a DAY. They can pat themselves on the back if they wish but I think they’ve reinvested none of their 30% back in their stores in years. Their one “investment” was to make the Mac App Store objectively worse.
