These are API level security features. Apple is conflating these two issues for their benefit. iOS is an incredibly secure platform mostly due to OS level security and carefully considered privacy in iOS libraries. Much of the benefit of the App Store is reducing spam and some data tracking, in addition to developer level features for IAP, subscriptions, and marketing. I do appreciate much of what the App Store offers but has been exceedingly slow to update the review system, which has plagued developers for over a decade with inconsistencies and poor communication. I'm hopeful the increased competition will encourage some improvements on that front.
