Apple’s behavior on the App Store for sure deserves it.
To access their customers you must use their languages (friction porting to other platforms), use their computers (more friction to porting), give 30% of all revenue AND compete with their businesses (Spotify vs Apple Music, Fitbit/peloton).
You may make a “reader” app to distribute content for free unless it lets you stream games, cause you’re competing with their money maker, in which case you need to stream via web using standards they hardly maintain.
Their products are immensely supported compared to their competitors but this comes at the soul crushing cost of all who do business with them and is for sure leading to a cooling of innovative apps and services available to their customers.
