Everyone seems to assume this is true, but are people also confirming this? I installed LittleSnitch recently on Big Sur and I’m constantly getting pop up’s for all of Apple’s internal daemons etc. While I haven’t tried the App Store specifically, I’m wondering if the person didn’t understand how things were configured and was allowing certain traffic thru. I can’t imagine there’s really some big conspiracy here.

Confirmed. Someone also found the strings in the network stack, which are tested against the app's bundle identifier to provide these wholes. It's ridiculous.

Do you have a reference? As noted, this seems to contradict what Objective Development is saying.

Objective (sic) proof that Objective Development is lying would certainly be a big deal, and a very good reason not to trust Little Snitch.
