If you really want to resolve this favorably, you should probably remove this post and try to resolve this in a private conversation with Apple. They aren’t gonna like this kind of attention...
I agree with this. The best thing to do is try and resolve this with Apple. Apple's review process is very particular, and sometimes simply resubmitting an application version is enough to get it through. It's common for things to be picked up by one person that are ignored by another. I've also found that simply pressing the issue is enough to get reviews passed.
I’m not disagreeing with you, but Apple do just make it up as they go and will make wildly inconsistent decisions, make major revisions to the rules out of nowehere and then reverse them out of nowhere.
In a company I used to consult for, Apple has taken up 9 out of the last 12 months of their product roadmap after introducing new rules, and then revoking them. They were reasonable to talk with, but... yikes. Worst part was all their competitors just ignored the rules and cried until Apple reversed them, so they were just massively punished by Apple for earnestly following the rules.
