Certain apps have always gotten special treatment. If it’s big enough to mess with phone sales they’re allowed nonsense a normal dev would be permanently banned for.

Ex: all the stuff FB has been caught doing over the years

My understanding (no first hand experience) is that WeChat and Alipay are basically required in China. If a phone doesn’t have them, it’s worthless and won’t sell.

So naturally they too can do nonsense that would get the rest of us booted to space.
