Not disingenuous at all. Apple themselves removed the VLC app from the App Store[1] because the GPL is not compatible with their terms and conditions. Apple will also reject applications if they're made aware that they're GPL.

Right, but the terms of the licence that VPL itself adopted forbids VPL from making its own software available in the App Store, given the known restrictions.
