I agree, although given the very long list of questions that the author proposes later in the article... if that much is left unsaid by the letter of the legislation, then this is probably going to be a shitshow.

There is currently an Unlisted Apps (https://developer.apple.com/support/unlisted-app-distribution https://developer.apple.com/support/unlisted-app-distributio...) model, so there could conceivably be an "Independent Apps" model that passes unreviewed apps through to a special section of the App Store.
