I believe it was more than that---Apple would not extend certain sorts
of support to programs that did not conform, would not allow creators
of non-conforming apps to participate in certain deals.
This was back in th edays when Apple did developer support worth a

They were, as I remember, quite nasty about enforcing their ideas
about what was "right".
