Promotional push notifications were technically against the rules but it was never enforced. Hell, Apple does it themselves.

App Store rules / human interface guidelines don't apply to Apple. They believe they (as opposed to 3rd party devs) don't need these restrictions to ship secure, high-quality apps with a great experience.

Whether they succeed is debatable, but the reasoning (although perhaps unfair) is understandable.
