So, my question is, as a soon-to-be iOS9 user, can I tell that the developers have intentionally disabled security features in their apps? I'd love to be able to set a rule to just hide all non-ATS-compliant apps from my view of the App Store.

The exception is specified in the app's Info.plist. You won't be able to tell just by looking at the app on your iOS device, but you can download and unzip and IPA, and directly look at its plist to see if it has the NSAllowsArbitraryLoads key or not.
