Double standards! Apple has removed so many apps from App Store because of the same reason.
Google has a problem with games like Fortnite and PUBG, because then they would lose too much. Kids spend millions on Fortnite.
Regarding your comments about security and UX, I know which one of those companies I trust more on both of those fronts. What phone number do I call for a billing issue with Google?
there's only so much difference there can be between two app stores; if they were completely different, one wouldn't be an app store
Yes, which is why I mentioned what those differences were in my comment.
> because they provide completely different services
They provide the exact same thing. Review process is not related to the service they provide. It is related to devs putting their app on the store.
> Google prices some services differently, and Apple is 100% playing by the rules.
Apple does the same thing with Amazon. They also demand a fee on iOS, while taking a freeride on Android.
> What phone number do I call for a billing issue with Google
You didn't say what billing issue. A quick search gave me this number 1-877-355-5787 . I'm not tech support.
> They provide the exact same thing. Review process is not related to the service they provide.
The review process is a part of the service they provide to their paying customers, and it is a key market differentiator for Apple.
> Apple does the same thing with Amazon.
Apple doesn’t take a cut of any sale of physical goods via apps.
> A quick search gave me this number 1-877-355-5787
There actually is no number, because Google doesn’t offer that level of support (unlike Apple). That is the phone number for premium G Suite and Cloud Identity customers.
That's the thing. They are not implementing these rules on iOS while following them on other platforms.

I was talking about Prime Video. Amazon got a discount
