I for one am grateful for the extra scrutiny iOS apps get. I resent that desktop apps can basically reach into any part of my computer, take 20 seconds to close when I tell them to exit, prevent my computer from shutting down, hog all my resources when I'm not using them, actively steal focus if they decide, fail to run because of some "missing dependency", and do a half-assed job uninstalling themselves.

I completely agree, I want all apps on my platform (linux) to work like this, at the mercy of the rules of the operating system.

However, app review isn’t a needed part of it, and I want to be the one in charge of the operating system, as I’m clearly not on iOS.
