I'm so confused. Why would banking app be against Flappy Bird?

Very possibly just that it is an ID that is no longer on the App Store - in Flappy’s case because the developer was frustrated with the demands being placed on him by all of the app’s global users (it was a sad story at the time). But a security provider wouldn’t be wrong to assume that the majority of times an app is removed from the App Store it is because it was found by Apple to violate policy in some way - and why introduce the liability of having a whitelist for things like Flappy Bird?

I think there was a time when it was popular to release clones with malware because everyone wanted to get their hands on it.

The app is likely trying to protect itself from these clones.

Probably because there were many clones of it, that were im fact malicious. So collateral damage in trying to protect.
