"Don't make an app that allows users to run unapproved software. I think that's a pretty clear rule."
This is a non sequitur.

Apple shifts their interpretation of rules all the time, more problematically, they literally change the rules themselves, and can do so at any time.

If Apple could interpret or change their rules so as to take a 30% cut of Uber's business - they would. They only reason they don't, is because they don't have enough power to do so. Yet.
