Wouldn’t you have this as part of a defense in depth strategy? Apple’s public vs. private APIs and similar things seem to indicate that at least part of their security model involves static analysis of binaries and only allowing a set of approved APIs.

Apple's static analysis to detect private API usage is not very clever; you can get around it with some fairly trivial tricks.

No, it's not a security mechanism period. Public/Private APIs aren't part of the security model, it's a way to prevent app breakage in their ecosystem due to applications using unstable APIs.
