I don't know if you're pretending or if you really missed the point, but it isn't that Python would kill his apps. It's that his apps get special protection.

Fart apps are essentially the poster child for "crapware" in the App Store. Anytime someone wants to criticize the App Store, they will probably point to apps like the ones he's making. But while Apple constantly expands its list of unacceptable things (the programming language ban is merely the most ridiculous, not the only the thing on the list), fart apps remain the one genre that seems untouchable. It's a messed up state of affairs.

It's a pretty far leap (down right silly, really) from "man sells some silly apps prior to getting job curating App Store at Apple" to "fart apps would be banned if only he weren't giving them special protection!"

There is literally no evidence to support the latter interpretation.

No, but it's an example of horribly screwed up priorities either way.

Do people complain that they can't let their kids look at the App Store because of fart apps?

Do people complain that they can't let their kids look at the App Store because of Scheme apps or apps that superimpose the time over an image? Don't see the relevance. Even for objectionable apps, you can just block them.
