So you are saying the posters attitude is rubbing off onto Apple and they aren't doing the "right" thing? Whatever or whomever deems the right thing to be?
Whenever something wrong happens, isn’t investigating and sending an apology the “supposed to be” right thing to do? By no means I’m arguing whether free Mac is a necessary compensation for that specific dev. Apple not accepting errors on their side UNTIL being called out by consumer protection organisation in my eyes is the exact definition of doing whatever they want and get away with it regardless.

But you are right there. “Right” or “wrong” is not defined by nature. It’s deemed by people who sees it. I can say what Apple is doing is wrong, and you can say Apple is doing the right thing. No problem. But I don’t like apple treating developers like the OP describes.
 
Apple should provide some compensation, I agree. Refund the developers fee, and/or provide a free year. Don't charge 30% for a year etc.

Beyond the above to my knowledge it's not very common for a company to throw money at a customer when they make a mistake. (I acknowledge there are stories of the largess of Apple at times for mistakes made or bad customer service)

- Credit card company screws up your account. Remediation is usually limited to I'm sorry and fixing the balances and interest.
- Someone is convicted of a crime they didn't commit and eventually freed. The system gives them nothing for all those years in jail.

We agree on something then. Personally don’t think that ones irresponsible practice justify another ones. That kind of reasoning is the path to mediocrity. By the way, the last example does not happen the way you think it does.

But even the articled cited there are caveats. So while generally I was incorrect about those reparations, it's not guaranteed 100%. But wow, some agreement between two MR forum members. Whoda' thunk it was even remotely possible?
 
If they claim to remove scam apps, then that suggests to me they have a team that deals with scam apps. Therefore, my earlier assertion of a "team looking at scams on the App Store" remains valid. Please point me to something in the article where it conclusively says that they do not have a "team looking at scams on the App Store".

Their team seems to consist of the same "top men" referred to in the last scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

If you're going to deflect, then it seems like speaking to the aforementioned "top men" would have resulted in a more productive conversation than this.

I think we're done here. 👋
