IIRC you can still submit an app with exemptions to this rule; you will just have to provide a justification for it that Apple deems reasonable.

On the positive side, with apps, there's a lower chance to land on a phishing app, because apps need to be reviewed before they appear on the store.

RIP Microsoft. IMO this is a big reason why their phones/app store died. Try finding the real VLC player in the store - last I checked they dont even have a app store version (but you'll find tons of results for it).

There's real vlc app in both Windows and WP app store. In fact there were two official VlC apps for Windows Phone. One was written with c/c++ and the other UWP version

^ Though, it should be noted that the fact that there's two official versions speaks to a somewhat parallel issue.
This is my biggest complaint about forcing users to use apps to browse a website-- it hides everything. I have no idea if any given app is actually using SSL. Oversights have happened before to Credit Karma, Fandango and others.
