Screens Rejected From the App Store

Perhaps I'm missing something, but while technically a "rejection" really the reviewer is asking for clarification on some questions relating to sharing of collected data, which might not actually be 100% clear. Would it be too difficult to just provide that info in a quick response and move on?

@Gabriel It seems like the questions were already answered in the linked privacy policy, and is there not already a form to fill in all the privacy information that Apple wants? Now you also have to do an interactive Q&A with a random app reviewer to confirm that you actually meant what you submitted?

It seems more and more likely that the people apple employ or sub-contract to do App Store reviews have found it beneficial to their metrics to be seen to have blocked an app under review and ask for clarification of something - no-matter how asinine. And letting through scammy apps doesn't seem to have implications. That Apple don't seem to care about this is really disappointing.

But they are doing very well, financially, without having to care that much and the App Store is generally more safe than the Android alternative so Apple management clearly thinks their way of doing things is good enough.

Not accepting 'good enough' used to be what Apple was about. Is it not possible at their current scale \_(ツ)_/

Maybe we need a new phrase? 'If it ain't broke, why fix it? And even if it is, look at the profits.'

@Michael Tsai I get that, but yeah reviewers tend to be lazy in my experience, not necessarily malicious. As I pointed out, this isn't a rejection for the fact screens is asking for users to opt in, but because the reviewer wasn't sure about the data collection and wanted clarification. (yes he could have found out that info by himself with a tiny bit of digging).
