It's definitely a surprise to see, coming from Apple. However, if we consider the amount of money they make on gacha games, which are essentially slot machines (that award you worthless items) (and are often targeted at children), it's unfortunately less of a surprise.

Both the appstore and the playstore are indeed making most of their money on casino type games but usually they try for obvious PR & legal reasons to avoid this subject.

Anything mentioning the store will show plenty of productivity apps or something similarly positive. I'm also very surprised by this move.
