It's also not like Apple does a good job preventing scams on the app store to begin with. John Oliver ran an LWT piece just last week about Pig Butchering scams[0], which involved fake stock trading apps, with fake bought reviews, being used in... you guessed it, the iOS App Store.
It's just such a nakedly bad argument because Apple already does a garbage job at maintaining the App Store against these supposed external threats.
[0]: A "long con" scam, where the victim (the "pig") is lulled into a false sense of trust for an online stranger (making them fat and ready to for slaughter) and then convinced to spend large sums of money on dubious trading platforms ("being butchered") at a vulnerable moment. https://youtu.be/pLPpl2ISKTg
