My only spin as you call it is that we can’t really know why Apple rejected the app based on the thin and twisted say-so of this one developer who is willing to promote an odd theory about it.

Any app publishing platform has to make tradeoffs for security versus openness. Some people will think they get it wrong. You are one of those people, I get it.

But there are basic points your thinking does not acknowledge despite your statement that you’ve been over this before, so I suspect it’s not useful trying to explain much more than that to you.
