I am curious: why shipping on iOS store makes it incompatible with GPL ?

I mean I respect your decision to make it open-source or not, but why does the store matter ?

GPL seems to be incompatible with the iOS store as that places some extra restrictions on it. [0] [1]. Some GPL apps such as KDE Connect have a special exception in their license for the ios App Store. [2]
