Apple does prioritise their users even above their developers, fair enough.

How distributing an app that steals crypto for weeks is "prioritise their users"?
Are developers not users too? In my mind, people using the App Store to post apps are also users of the App Store.
I'd bet 90% of people implementing a nag screen go "ugh, a nag screen" when they're in user context on the App Store just like the rest of us.
I more meant that, from Apple's perspective, somebody who downloads an app from the App Store is a user, and somebody who posts an app is also a user. Different use cases, obviously, but they're both users. If they prioritize users, both groups should be included.
And when the needs conflict?
