Can someone explain to me how Roblox doesn't violate Apple's "no app stores in the App Store" rule? And the rule against running non-JavaScript code not bundled with the app? And probably a bunch of other rules too? The article mentions it but has no sensible explanation. It seems impossible to justify.
Apple gets to pick winners and losers by selective enforcement of their own rules. Pretty nice for Roblox if Apple prevents anyone from releasing a competitor!

The games available inside Roblox are impossible to ship as an independent app on the App Store without re-implementing the entire Roblox platform. It's a middle ground between Minecraft selling maps and an actual app store.
