Having dealt with the iOS approval process several times, it is interesting to see that the system has this weak spot. The approval process is known for its stringency (especially compared to the Play Store), but clearly there are some vulnerabilities lurking.
Well, there is an element of confirmation bias. We don't know whether the successful apps represent one-hundredth or two-thirds of the submitted apps. But earlier this year Apple did say it was trying to decrease approval times,[1] maybe quality control took a hit.
