>technical solution looking for a problem
In some regards yes. In practical regards they're a threat to app store margins (on all app stores, not just Apple), so there's no incentive to truly support them other than developers being loud about it.
>I don’t even know where to find one.
Because Apple has crippled the ability for you to use them, so developers can't really spend time working on them. Chicken and egg problem.
>if Apple is complying
They're not really, they're twisting and turning as much as possible to look like complying but make the desired outcomes even more difficult to achieve.
