I didn't downvote, but I assume people are because everything you can possibly do in life comes with some risk -- you need to evaluate the risk versus the benefit to decide whether to do something. Not even considering developing an app because of the risk of your app being banned seems like a fairly extreme overreaction. It's kind of like saying, "I've never considered getting a job because the risk is too big that a faceless corporation is going lay you off without any reason and visibility."

The comparison would be IMO more accurate if there were only 2 employers in the world.

  That still doesn't change the underlying mechanics of the analogy though. It doesn't matter how many employers there are, if the worst case scenario is that you end up where you are now (jobless / no app) The analogy would be more accurate if you could end up in a worse off position by taking the job / making the app, say through lost development time with no payoff

    In an scenario with 2 employers, even ignoring market dynamics of an oligopoly/monopoly, once you are rejected by them you have nothing to lose. The risk of your app being banned when there is only 2 marketplaces is way way higher than the risk of being laid off when there are many more companies. IMO OPs argument breaks when they equate a bit of risk to a lot of risk, as if any risk amount were the same as any other.
