Don't fool yourself, Apple will never remove killer apps, only small insignificant apps. Instagram for example "steals" way too much data than necessary, yet apple does not remove them. TikTok just got caught for some stuff - still there.

So they might catch some rogue apps, but far from reliable or trustworthy. They protect their platform image, nothing more.

With webapps at least I can take some measures like ad and tracking blocking myself. I don't have to give access to the system unless some case really warrants it.
