Apple requires individual App Store listing purely because $$$$$. That‘s the actual reason.
…so what is Shadow then, and why is it
allowed on the App Store -
without Apple‘s IAP?
„
Unlike game streaming services, Shadow provides a full Windows 10 PC, rather than a library of games … This unique approach allows Shadow to comply with the App Store guidelines, so that you can access your Shadow PC on any iOS device to run your favorite games and software“

- Books aren’t interactive content, so Apple allows reader apps without charging commission.
- Games are interactive content, so Apple demands their commission.
- What is videostreaming a full Windows 10 PC (and explicitly and prominently
advertising how it can run games) as a paid service, if not interactive content?
PS: honestly, as (admittedly) mildly entertaining as it all is, that Applesplaining of their App Store rules is getting more and more ridiculous. ?
