Maybe a platform will ban or penalize this behavior if we complain about it loudly enough. It is or will become a Nash equilibrium that can only be resolved by Apple and Google.

Once all apps do this, the app developers are back to where they started, but users are worse off.

IIRC Apple requires apps to use Apple’s method to ask users to review. And they respect the “don’t bother me” answer.
