That is the complete opposite of my experience. I have worked for a major music streaming service for a long time and publishing the app on iOS has been a constant pain. Sometimes the app was not updated for months because apple would not validate it. Each time the source of contention was that you could subscribe without using apple solutions (paying them) and that the subscriptions covered all platforms.
