Can you point to evidence that Apple is rejecting anything from being notarized? I haven't seen any. And sandboxing is completely orthogonal to the fine-grained revocation that notarization allows for. A sandboxed app could still be malicious: say, a weather app that asks for access to your Contacts ostensibly to show weather at your friends' location, but also uploads all the Contacts info to a malicious tracking service. With notarization, this app could have its notarization revoked once it's discovered.

> Can you point to evidence that Apple is rejecting anything from being notarized? I haven't seen any. Apple is rejecting anything by developers that don't pay them $100 a year, stifling competition in the process. Apple has a history of conveniently rejecting apps if the rejection is in their financial interest[1].
