All Apple has to do is what they already do with "Sign in with Apple". Just require everyone who uses third-party payment to also offer Apple's services.
That one little step would avoid the regulation they're going to be hit with.
I would venture that this has more to do with Universal Control. Perhaps they use the orientation data to help with some heuristics?
The way I see it, unless you're developing exclusively for Apple platforms, it's not worth the effort to build something with Metal. There are translation layers like MoltenVK that can help, but that still requires a lot of effort for what is likely a very small market segment.
I help make one such Reddit client. There’s an invisible rule that you can’t show users the NSFW toggle or even mention that it’s on the website. We had a toggle that only lets you turn it off if it’s on, and that alone was too much.
We also got rejected once because the top post that day had the word “fuck” in it. That was a fun one.
Somerville, Brookline, and Cambridge have similar bans in place as well. That covers about 250k more people, for what it's worth.

What does the play command come from?
That's an option, but then we wouldn't have nice things like Asynchronous Timewarp / Spacewarp unless we want to shift the burden of doing that onto the rendering application. As someone who worked in VR before the Compositor was a thing, I welcome it with open arms. It's just easier for everybody.
That said, it'd be nice if you didn't have to log into some account to make it happen.
