Why should Apple be the police, they don’t even currently police their apps in a uniform way. So many apps violate the guidelines but are still in the AppStore.
I welcome the change but I’ve also seen Apple be a bully.

This argument could be used for any decision that Apple makes regarding the AppStore. While I dislike some of the policy decisions being made in the AppStore, I don't see any downsides with this specific case. Developers just have to clearly label promotional notifications going forward, no harm done. Users will be much better off with more fine grained control over what kind of notifications they receive. What's the big deal here?
