yeah, with Apple your appeals to appstore decisions are actually reaching a human that understands the issue and I even managed to have a phone call with one of them. And I only pay them ~$100 a year, not more and nothing close to the ~$1000 Daniel paid to Google.
That's a level of service Google never provided. There is much to say about Apple (its still a gatekeeper etc.), but at least this part is really much better than the Google "experience".
