There is no razors edge here, your app violates nearly every standard Apple uses to distinguish itself from its competitors... privacy, security, safety. Why are you playing victim and getting offended when people point out the obvious? Were you just hoping for answers that blamed Apple?

I'm in the minority but I'd rather apple not censor my apps (unless they are malware).

It not being censored. Simply creating an app doesn't afford you the privilege of hosting on the app store.

Without any other way to load the app on the device, it is de facto censorship.

A device must have an option for its security to be exploited by allowing the installation of a tracking app that violates every aspect of users privacy, intended to be used by minors, with the express purpose of transferring explicit material to a third party?

If a device does not provide this option for compromised security, it is by default censorship.
