Best I can do is them banding together to fuck normal people over and extract as much cash as they can
“allows“
They've been forced to and it shows because they didn't even bother with the iPad
fight asshole companies, fight
App developers are responsible for the content the emulators can include (which are called mini-apps)
So let's say I am Square Enix. I own the rights to Chrono Trigger. I can release an emulator with Chrono Trigger SNES ROM and can sell it as Chrono Trigger. I cannot have said emulator allowed to run Super Mario World, as that would get my program delisted from App Store.
This is not limited to just emulators though. We can classify the games in roblox as mini apps; so let's say if Roblox doesn't remove a game that clearly infringes copyright; they too will get removed from App Store. (Which is one of the many reasons why they try to remove the games that contain these content)

Can apple even legally do this lol
Emulators aren't illegal. So why shouldn't they allow it?
If so then how did Nintendo manage to take down yuzu?
They didn't. Nintendo and Yuzu came to an agreement and settled out of court.
They settled because they used an illegal key instead of making their own, which is the only legal way to do this for game preservation.
Incorrect. You had to rip that key for yourself. They never distributed it.
They settled because there's no winning for them. Even if they're correct (and they really are) it will be years of litigation... and costs.
They were forced to settle because they publicly talked about playing shit [pre-release] on discord too...
Edit: Found a typo. My bad.

Typical Apple behaviour, shitting in everybody else's bullshit pie while keeping their own bullshit pie completely pristine.
Huh, I knew that Nintendo had braindead fanboys but I'm genuinely surprised anyone thinks that corporations teaming up to kill emulation is a good thing.
