Apple doesn't believe in software that exposes their users to content outside of their walled garden.
Twitter, web browsers, and YouTube are fine on the App Store.

Hmmm.
Piracy on YouTube isn't 0%, obviously. But it isn't in the same league, or comparable to torrenting.
There are completely legal and reasonable reasons torrenting exists. They're excellent at making huge downloads possible with the more efficient bandwidth. Instead of that, we have an ecosystem of "installers" that exist purely to download massive files to install.
Slap a torrent together of the same payload and it'd be guaranteed not to stall/error because of the network.

Mobile Safari ordinarily exposes users to content, media, and applications outside Apple's walled garden, namely, the World Wide Web. Apple's walled garden only restricts the platform to protect users' system security and privacy, only allowing the installation of software from Apple's package manager, the AppStore. Apple does not restrict content, media, or applications.
Contrary to popular belief, dissent is a very good thing. If everyone always agreed, there would never be progress. It is only through dissent that things can improve. Further, I, for one, appreciate cynicism, as it often is efficient in communicating valid criticism. But as far as I am aware, no one cares for inaccuracy and most despise bullshit, libel and slander. Carry on.
