Conspiracy theory would get too convoluted:

Rogue employee employs the backdoor for a major app with hopefully conscientious users who’ll report it online; hopes to force a fix.

Or it was a social experiment and some dumb app reinstalls itself every day too but no one’s complained en masse yet! ;)
