I frankly wish they just had same parental controls instead of blocking whole apps. All they have to do is install a switch saying you can/can’t see 18+ content. You could have the have apps hook into that setting. It’d be really nice actually to say not be able to interact with under 18s in public channels — the liability risk (both legally/socially) of interacting with minors in any semi-adult context often is too high. I’d rather have a wall.
They are “protecting the brand” in their eyes but frankly nobody thinks of an app on the App Store as “Apple”. At the same time I understand their want to not be known as a place you can find porn, but they ship a /web browser/ so it’s not like they’re preventing anything.
