afaik there is nothing preventing this from being on the mac app store.
The iPhone app store is so strict because they really want to keep the platform locked down, with no possibility for 3rd party app stores. Although even then there's weird exceptions - Roblox seems to be allowed.
That cat is out of the bag on MacOS, though, and at least for now it seems Apple is keeping it that way - iPadOS is going to be their locked down work OS.

I don't have a Mac): https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/6109/is-it-possible-to-have-gpl-software-in-the-mac-app-store https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/6109/is-it-possibl... It's possible that those replies are out of date and the Mac App Store TOS have changed.
