Because they enforce when someone complains. They aren't going to proactively ban stuff unless they really have to (e.g. something that is very obviously illegal/scam/etc.)

So if nobody complained about the other apps, they didn't get banned. It is that easy.

That someone else does something that violates those policies/laws too doesn't mean that you get a free pass, unfortunately.

I'd buy that if the app stores weren't proactively rejecting apps for the same reasons they fail to enforce on others.
