'Given how many scams remain on every app store etc...'

That's not what we're talking about.

You will not be able to get an app onto the App Store using microsofts brand image, logos, pretending to be microsoft to phish data from people.

It will not get through. You've obviously got a very strong informed opinion on the topic, but this is just fact.

So all of the downsides are worth it as long as major companies like Microsoft are protected? Is that your point?

No, I'm making the point that you can't get something on the App Store that is a scam version of basically any reasonably well known product or company that is going to just phish data.

It will not get through the checks you're suggesting are 'not really for security'.
