No way this would happen. Too inconvenient for their users, too much work to develop, no real benefit for them.

If they did, though, it would certainly be:
a) centralized, or
b) closed-source and backdoored to start a miner botnet

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I doubt the decision came from cook.  Mostly likely a compliance/ legal decision made from someone at least several layers down from Cook.  I doubt its even on his radar and probably not important enough for the APP store managers to bother him with.
