This aligns with the idea of running what users have really downloaded at first. Apple removed apps who wanted to run ad-hoc code before. I'm curious why it waited years for realizing in-app app stores might occur similar issues.

Google Stadia however is an interesting middle ground. To an extent it can be considered an interactive streaming service.

What if Netflix realises a movie where the user can decide different story lines? Would that infrange Apple policies too?
