> "The App Store was created to be a safe and trusted place for customers to discover and download apps, and a great business opportunity for all developers," an Apple spokesperson told Business Insider. "Before they go on our store, all apps are reviewed against the same set of guidelines that are intended to protect customers and provide a fair and level playing field to developers." I am pretty skeptical about this being anywhere close to the whole story.

Not actually saying anything

It isn't. And to be frank, this is getting really old quickly. It's always the same predictable marketing text, with slight variations depending on the current circumstances. It's absolutely not about the user or the customer here. It's about them, and only them.

> all apps are reviewed against the same set of guidelines Which we know isn't true. Otherwise apps like Steam Link[1], PS4 Remote Play[2] or Google Stadia[3] wouldn't be on the store. It's hard to take Apple seriously when they pull shit like this. They only handle the app distribution, while all the heavy lifting is done by a third-party infrastructure. I know it's their walled garden, but at some point they'll have to admit they're going too far and they're crippling the market.
