The solution is simple, just look at the tricks these apps are using and use them to implement malware.

I bet they have feature flags that are signed and validated by Apple. You wouldn’t be able to run your app without their approval (which they won’t give).

Yep. I think people need to get past the idea that they own their iPhone or Mac. Apple does, they just let you use it.
