I am SHOCKED that apple isn't playing fair with the app that reverse engineered a backdoor into their system and is now profiting from it. I thought they would have just loved that idea

They're playing perfectly fair.

They don't owe anyone continued exploit access.

Not the original commenter, but that looked like sarcasm to me.

It's definitely full of sarcasm. But playing fair buried in that sentence is still implying that they don't have an explicit obligation to close the hole.

Yeah I dont understand how people expected this to stay open when apple has to do so little in order to break it.

Like google for whatever reason is thankfully not actively trying to break front ends, but newpipe still breaks every once in a while when they update something. The same goes for a lot of other front end services and third party apps.
