Given that Apple allows services like Netflix and Spotify without reviewing every piece of content, why not allow a similar service for gaming? The difference boils down to the medium, according to Apple: Games are interactive, unlike music and film, and there are consumer expectations baked into the App Store related to gaming.
Utter bollocks. The difference is that Netflix and Spotify are too big, and too many people would jump ship to Android if they banned those apps.
No in-app payment through Apple's built-in services, for instance
This is what it’s really about. Apple wants their ludicrous 30% cut.
Apple tried playing hardball with Netflix and such as well.
Maybe they should also go against any 'game compilations' that have more than one boardgame lol

Microsoft could retaliate by pulling the Office suite. Would probably force Apple to allow it.
Sounds like another good reason to not use Apple.
