I might be naive in this but I hope Apple does revoke the certs, not because of the privacy implications (which I still do have concerns about), but because I would like to see the rules applied evenly. We’ve seen Apple apply the rules differently to big vs small developers but this time it’s Google and FB and by revoking FB certs for being in violation of terms, they must unquestionably revoke Google’s certs lest they bring on another bias debate.
The rules should not be applied the same to everyone. Apple needs to look out for its long term interests and it can deal with small companies in ways that it can not deal with Google or Facebook without harming said interests. It's sort of like the quip, "Owe the bank $10,000 and they control you. Owe the bank $1,000,000,000 and you control them." In the world of business there are unequal relationships.
