There's a difference between policies that we agree with, and policies that should be policy.
I think in this context, the real policy should be regulatory, and it shouldn't allow Apple to even have such a policy or forbid anything.
Apple should be allowed to discriminate in their own garden, and/or to rate or group apps based on various factors.
So an app that 'requires social sharing and to make a review' receive a negative quality score ranking etc. - but otherwise - 'informed users' can make their own choices.
