Except this rule doesn't prohibit anybody from putting anything on the internet. TFA is only about putting a streaming service on the App Store. Not to say that's not problematic, but Apple's not holding the web back in any way with this rule.

Yeah, not with this rule. They are holding the web back by refusing to run 3rd party browsers or modernize their one.

They are. MS could have shipped their browser with features that can support game streaming but they can't.

Open Web on mobile is being held hostage on iOS side.

At least on Android I was asked to choose my default browser and other browsers are allowed to have their engines.
