Huh? The problem isn't that the developer itself is trying to cover his misbehavior, but the fact that the developer can get banned for something out of his control.

The developer is the one who takes responsibility for the submission. Enforcement is meaningless if you can just say "oh I asked you to publish dangerous code, but it's not my fault."

It's the same reason people hold companies like Apple and Nike accountable for working conditions in their factories even if they hired a third party to run them. Third parties are not the ones putting their brand on the product.

There's nothing out of the developer's control about what they submit to the app store.

The developer chose to use Electron, hence the entire endeavor is in their control.
