> Picking between three codes in a few categories isn't really that much work.

True, but it's not just that. These changes are just another item to add to the already very long checklist.

I'd much rather they add to the App Store ToS "I will not use the following APIs/syscalls for fingerprinting users: [stat, UserDefaults, etc...]" rather than all this busywork. Since these restrictions are enforced by the review team (vs. the OS), the end result is the same.




I would imagine that a description of what the api is being used for makes life way easier for the review team to check whether you are telling the truth.
