Can’t think of any reason that isn’t sketchy. The article gives a clue already.

If the app passes Apple’s review, then it could pass Google’s review.

You can side load android, you can't side load Apple (without jailbreak). Having to deal with two review processes instead of just one saves money and headaches. Also since they are dealing with US sanctions they probably had to fill out all kinds of stuff and submit that to Apple which they would also have to do for Google but again, they can just side load instead.

    Did Cydia Impactor stop working or something? Sure you need a developer account, but then you can use the account to sideload any third-party IPA.
