That loses a bit of the nuance. Apple cut off Google distributing software within apple's TOS after Google had already stopped breaking the TOS.

But Google already broke Apple's TOS, so it seems like Apple still has grounds to revoke their license.

Right, I'm not saying this isn't warranted necessarily, just that it's punitive not preventative.

No, they still needed to revoke the cert because the app was still hanging out on users' devices. The only way to ensure that those apps are dead, from Apple's perspective, is to revoke the cert
