Apple has done the exact same with its iphone app store, lots of companies got shut down because of their app not beeing available anymore with no explanation. The problem is with exclusive app stores.

I don't often praise Apple, but their kernel hardening on macOS has been in the form of a deliberate, decades-long plan to move kernel extensions to userspace by providing the appropriate SDKs. Meanwhile Microsoft is running around like a headless chicken.

Apple requires notorization for applications outside their store too.
