IMO these walled-garden app stores that are supposed to be "so good for the users" should require quality release notes that describe the exact "performance improvements and bug fixes" that the respective apps apparently receive.

What is it that makes you think this is caused by "walled gardens?" Do you have a link to a policy that requires this, or is it your own biases showing through?

I think you may have misunderstood my comment... I'm saying that if the walled garden app stores are supposed to be good for users (especially if this is one of their marketing bullet points), one might reasonably expect that "high-detail release notes" ought to be one of the requirements for app developers, imposed by the owner of the app store (Apple, Google, etc.) .. This way users get a good understanding of what changes will happen when they download an update of a given app.

They are stating that if the walled garden is supposed to benefit users by curating, they should be curating.

In this case, they should be curating patch notes.
