Extortion usually demands something under the threat of something bad happening that you do not want, and the action is taken against you by someone else.

You have a choice to write and iOS app and publish to the App Store or not. If you choose not to, what bad action is Apple purposely and actively taking against you in retaliation to you not giving in to their demands? Oh wait, they didn’t demand anything from you or threaten anything bad should you not meet those demands. They didn’t approach you with a demand. They didn’t approach you at all. They don’t care about you or anything you have going on.

How is Apple extorting you here? I would like to understand what state of psychosis I must obviously be in for this to be reality

The action you do not want is "rejecting any appeal/blackballing" if you tell people what Apple reviewers did.

You claim "Apple reviewers are within their rights to do that, it's their garden/world you're just living in it."

Your professor unjustly gives you a D, but if you complain to anyone, he'll make it an F. It's your fault; you voluntary chose to enroll in that class knowing that the professor could assign you a poor grade. Losers weepers.
