Yes, you're right that interpreters also allow users to run code. And we could argue that Apple is simply being inconsistent in how it applies its policies. I think realistically the difference is in how popular these newer vibe coding apps are, but also the fact that they have a much broader scope of what can be generated.
With Pythonista or a Lua-scripted game, the reviewer can assess what's possible: this app can do everything Python-with-this-API-surface can do, and nothing more.
With LLM-driven generation, the set of possible behaviors isn't fixed. The same Replit app can produce totally different behaviors next month than it can today, without ever being resubmitted, based on model or system prompt updates.
That's what I meant with "you can't review adaptive software".

The argument in the post isn't that the enforcement is unfair, more that the rule might not make sense much longer now that software can write itself. Rule was written for a world where the artifact reviewed and the artifact running were the same thing. That assumption is breaking, and not just for vibe-coding apps.

I think ultimately GenUI can be integrated into apps more seamlessly, but even if today it's more in context of chat interfaces with prompts, I think it's clear that a wall of text isn't always the best UX/output and it's already a win.

You can make bank transfers out (HK / international) with a business account. For personal accounts you can spend with the card at the moment, but bank transfers are coming soon.
