@Gargron And they have often turned a blind eye to app vendors tracking/spying on users (while they get a cut of the loot). This just dropped a couple days ago: https://www.404media.co/inside-global-phone-spy-tool-patternz-nuviad-real-time-bidding/

Having just switched from an iPhone to a Fairphone, I can't imagine being held captive to Apple's app store knowing the above is still ongoing (and not even the first time this sort of thing has cropped up).
