I worked on a dating app that would almost always get rejected because the reviewer would find a profile that had partial nudity or someone in a sexy pose and would just reject the whole binary for that reason. Even for major bug fixes. Even for a feature we had added that would make it easier for users to report inappropriate photos on our app. They were holding back that feature because they found an inappropriate photo in the app. Updates would take on average 4 weeks to get approved. Very infuriating.

Sounds legit to me, it's an extra push for app developers to be extremely vigilant about their content.
We were trying to add tools to make it easier to find lewd profiles; their app review process was stopping us from releasing the tools that would allow us to fix the problem.
Why is it the job of app developers to do this? Also why can’t apps display lewd content? None of this makes sense.
Because it's Apple's phone, Apple's operating system, Apple's app store, not the developers. Does Disney allow lewd content on Disney+ or at Disneyland?
No, it's my phone, that's why I had to pay hundreds of dollars for it. If every video I watched on my computer had to be approved by Disney I'd be just as outraged.
Then go ahead and install YOUR operating system with YOUR rules and YOUR apps.
Yes it’s your physical device and it’s exactly like they sold it to you with a license to use Apple’s software (iOS) on it and everything that comes with it. It was YOUR choice to buy an iPhone or something else.

They have the equivalent store-brand label for that.
