Doesn't Apple's MDM allow that?

Something close to that, AFAIK. But then, it’s not “go download this app from the store”. More like “we steal your phone, jailbreak it, and now we can see everything”. Not sustainable at scale.

You don't need to jailbreak a phone to set up MDM on it.

[kergonath]

You do if you don’t want to need the cooperation of the people in question.

Qatar doesn't mind needing the cooperation of the people in question, since they can put you in jail or deport you if you don't cooperate.
