I just did a quick search for "Virus Scanner" and this was in the first 10 results: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/phone-protection/id1282949977 https://apps.apple.com/au/app/phone-protection/id1282949977 Pretty clearly fake reviews, what it provides seems like a complete scam, in app subscriptions - ticks all the boxes from that article! Four years on and it's still happening. Pretty incredible. Apple largely justifies its 30% cut as providing a curated experience, which is hard to reconcile with this reality.

The checks and balances these large ecosystems boast off has become a hurdle to only small business who go over and above to comply with the rules, Where as these nefarious actors who game the system don't have anything dragging them down. This seems to be case with every large digital content publishing platform and especially worse in the case of vertical monopolies.
