No idea why is Apple being greedy here. They have enough money and there are going to be buyers out there, who are going to have other intentions, which could become much more expensive for Apple. Save a cent to lose dollar kind of situation.

Apple is often very stingy and greedy, but I don't think this is an example of this.

This is 'just' a skill issue. Culturally, it's seems this is not a process they're very good at running. A bunch of similarities to their App Review process which isn't well regarded.
