Are we talking about the same company using Greyball to fool local authorities not just abroad, but also in the USA? Taking into account total lack of moral integrity in their top management, I would not believe in anything they promise.

This is exactly my point – there's very little trust needed because Apple can verify/audit one company far more than they can the millions of registered developers.

I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm saying I can understand why they did it, why it works, and that it's likely possible to do safely.
