I’m confused, domains are not a barrier to entry (I’d argue that the developer account is a much larger barrier). Why is this a needed thing?

Not sure what you mean by developer account...

Anyway, if I understand correctly, this is basically just a user friendly version of certificate pinning.

Oops! For some reason I thought it was Swift at first. My bad, I understand it a bit better now then :).
