It's not impossible to comply with LGPL under the app store model, but the responsibility falls on the distributor, which is Unity in this case. I can understand that that is something they are not able or willing to do. This doesn't mean that they can't comply with LGPL for components included in Unity itself. I don't see any double standard here.

You're right, but there is the large counterpoint of the fact that Unity is doing exactly that for other software licenced under the LGPL.

Very different. They can do that, because they are in control of the components and build process. That's much harder for someone else's deliverables.
