> So far as I can tell, "trust" is the only reason Apple has for their rules about sexual content. Hey if Apple doesn't want sexual content on their app store, thats fine. But that isn't relevant to other app stores having that content.

They also don't want it in social apps. Telegram and Discord don't have access to the same content on iOS vs. Android. I may be wrong (often am), but I can only model this as Apple thinking they have a reputation for being a "family friendly" platform and wishing to uphold that. If so, I can see how they might consider being forced to allow a competitor that doesn't care, harmful to their reputation. (Me? I think sex is fine and have a problem with realistic violence, and have been confused since I was 15 or so why films and TVs allow outright murder in kids' cartoons given how upset people get by even mere "wardrobe malfunctions").
