What Gruber actually said about this is, "I can’t imagine what Apple would object to with this app, or why they wouldn’t provide Rogue Amoeba with a precise explanation before removing the app."
Although I imagine if it was some company he didn't see favorably, he would probably go for your explanation rather than the one he actually posted for this.
I just realized that Rogue Amoeba isn't just a random company making iOS and Mac apps. They aren't even just a random company that Gruber likes. Rogue Amoeba is a past sponsor of Daring Fireball, including being the debut sponsor of the Daring Fireball RSS feed [1].
Given that, I'd be surprised if he'd said anything else. That doesn't mean what Gruber said here is wrong (I don't think it is), but that is important context nevertheless.
>I can't wait for the official explanation
Is there a guarantee of one? If the issue becomes a PR nightmare, maybe. Gruber would call this "Measure twice, cut once" and a good move by Apple.
