They did remove Parler from the App Store, then reinstated it months later.

Gab is not allowed on the App Store.
Gab and Parler both had issues with lack of content moderation.

You can't expect Apple to allow apps which wilfully tolerate illegal content.

Is Apple the arbiter of illegal content(adult content is not allowed in the App store)?
Is that because Gab has a specific type of political content (IMO unlikely) or because Gab fails to keep illegal content or Apple’s minimum level of moderation (the reason Apple removed Parler)? I would bet money on the latter based on the coverage I have seen of Gab’s content.
