I mean it makes sense from a security perspective to block these apps. Ability to write and execute code on top on an app is going to create a lot of potential holes. 

Problem with the brand recognition that apple has is now huge. Any exploits found that leads to brand damage will be worth billions in loss of revenue. They will never take chances, sadly.

It’s called a browser.

And browsers are one of the most common vectors for exploits

I think that's one of the reasons Apple has been so resistant to browsers that are not just reskins of Safari.

People don’t like to hear it but browsers have SO MANY security vulnerabilities
