Apple doesn’t restrict people’s ability to consume what they want; they simply choose not to be a distributor of things they choose not to distribute. You can watch porn on a Mac — that doesn’t mean Apple has to become an outlet for its distribution. It’s kind of a libertarian view: do what you want, that doesn’t mean they have to promote or sell it themselves.

I tried the Showtime app trial a while back. There was definitely porn in the "After Dark" section. Considering how heavy handed they've been with other apps in the past, I was a bit surprised.

When Apple prohibits distribution except via their stores that ceases to be a valid argument.

You can consume all you want through “the open web”.
