This is just corporate posturing. Apple recently banned VPN's that have the potential to block ads including Freedom [1].

Interesting how this post got downvoted even if it links to a source. Anyone wants to weigh in why?

Freedom is not an ad blocker; Apple has approved other apps that block ads; iOS ships with native support for ad blocking and VPNs.

It's a bummer for fans of Freedom that it got blocked, but it's not accurate to extrapolate that into some general Apple opposition to ad blocking.
