This is the reason why Apple keeps up with Facebook's bullshit. Do you think they would keep my developer account around if I got caught using it to sideload spyware[1]?
Of course not. But Apple can't afford kicking out Facebook or Google. Not even Uber[2].
All of these background deals and exeptions are not unprecedented, really. If I went to Target and wanted them to distribute my craft beer, I'd get worse terms than Heineken has.
