Apple can take action and remove apps that are malicious, and they’re really good at it. Of course you won’t hear those people on facebook worrying about app permissions because there usually isn’t anything to worry about.
Adding a new app store is a HUGE attack surface that requires a ton of resources, and im getting the feeling that people aren’t understanding the effort Apple takes to keep their app store nice.
