iOS apps are banned from being "free" and Apple did not explain why

iOS apps are banned from being "free" and Apple did not explain why
Now, if the word "free" appears in the name, icon, screenshots or preview of an app, Apple will refuse to allow the app to pass the review. According to reports, Apple began to restrict apps in this regard last month. Previously, Apple did not encourage developers to give any hints about the price of the app in the app name. This time, Apple has stepped up its efforts and directly refused to allow such apps to be listed. When developers submit their apps for review, if the word "free" appears in the app name, the system will pop up an error message, indicating that the price is not part of the metadata, so it cannot appear in the app name, icon, screenshots or preview . Apple recommends that developers add the price or discount information of the app to the app description. At present, an Apple spokesperson has confirmed that Apple has indeed introduced this restriction policy, but did not explain the reason. Apple began to clean up the App Store last year. In September, a large number of apps that Apple identified as "problematic and abandoned" were removed from the store. Figures show that Apple cleaned up about 5,000 apps in a month, which is 238% more than the usual monthly cleanup. Do you think Apple's practice of not allowing developers to add data related to the price of the app in the metadata is appropriate?
