Not sure which reply to post this under, so I'll just reply under GP - it took me about 3 minutes to locate a popular HN client which specifically advertises account creation in the overview. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/octal/id1308885491

(Android user, can't test it)

I am the developer of HACK which is a HN client for iOS, MacOS and Android and I support account creation too:

I have no idea what happens to third party apps as Apple doesn't specify.

From the perspective of Apple and their users, does it really matter whether the backend an app relies on is owned by the developers of said app or not? The experience around and ramifications of account creation and deletion are the same regardless. Which obviously can be a pain for third-party devs.
