Does the iOS app have no timelines at all? Not the local one, not the federated one?

It seems to only have the subscribed time-line and at least according to the explanation given this is mainly to avoid being kicked off the Apple app-store.

I can kind of follow some of the other concerns being raised, but at least this one is really mostly Apple who is to blame with their overly prudish and otherwise questionable policing of their app store (and of course them preventing other means to install apps on the device you own).

But to be honest, I really don't understand why people who raise these kind of concerns are using a Apple device in the first place... seem like a huge cognitive dissonance at play there.
