Ahh, so maybe this is Apple's way of hitting back at Patreon's aggressive pushing of an app that no one asked for and no one needs?

Almost certainly not. Apple wants people to use apps, so "pushing people to use apps" wouldn't be cause for backlash.

Instead, I suspect they saw the money that patreon made and want a (30%) slice of that pie.
