Even art galleries rotate pieces to remain fresh and vibrant.

That means pieces once popular may not remain so and thus get pulled out.

The developer is just lazy and expectant of people stumbling on their title and giving them money. The problem is that most users would look at when it was last updated and decide not to download.

I know I do.

Better analogy - Imagine there was only one officially sanctioned art gallery in the entire world. And the art they sold could only be installed on a certain type of wall sold and controlled by the art gallery - unless the government intervened at great expense to the public. And this art gallery threatened to pull works from sale unless the artist updated their painting every seven years to be compatible with an arbitrary built-in obsolescence of the old walls. The moral of the story is... analogies are stupid. The artist and Apple are at cross-purposes and both have valid points. But Apple has the power and the artist is "being difficult".

"Blah blah blah nvidia AI". They're toast.

I could care less about AI, Siri has been turned off since day one and Apple will be fine if it steers clear from AI the same way it steers clear from social media and user generated content with very very minor exceptions.
