I remember how one person spent just a little time and uncovered one scam after another. It wasn’t even necessary to dig deep in every case (e.g. sometimes it was just “look at top grossing charts”). That is why almost any excuse Apple gives is just not good enough: clearly if Apple had even one person working on this full-time, they should have caught this. Who cares about fancy analysis tools or machine learning until they can catch the big, obvious stuff?
We also know from trial documents that they decided ~500ish people was enough to review the millions of apps and app revisions in existence. I don’t even have to do the math and I know that is nowhere near sufficient. Apple clearly is either clueless about this, or does not care, and either one of those is a huge problem. It also means that almost everything they claim about the security of the App Store itself is not true (rather, a substantial portion of the security comes from the OS and device, not necessarily the review).
