Apple/Google's position also seems rather conflicted.

On one hand, they appoint themselves as bouncers for their respective stores - both claiming to keep end users safe.

On another hand, they both allows themselves flexibility in selectively applying the rules when the app in question is lucrative or somehow related to their numerous other product categories.

Who is watching the watchers?

Mhm. Apple the morality police, "You can't distribute apps around legal porn. You can distribute apps around legal gambling."

Hmm. Gambling. Money. I see now why Apple allows gambling apps. Such moral finery in effect.
