I tried that and managed to avoid iOS for several years. Unfortunately
clients demanded iPhone compatibility and I couldn't convince them
otherwise. So here I am, realizing all over again what a pain it is to
develop on that platform.
The only good thing was that iPhone screen sizes were consistent, but they
took that away too.

The easiest solution is for everyone to immediately stop developing apps
for iOS.
That will definitely get Apple’s attention. Developers are sick of all the
stupid
requirements Apple constantly throws at us for our apps. Any apps we
develop that we put into their store always gets buried in the piles and piles
of apps there. If you just develop for macOS well at least you can avoid
most of the screen size requirements.
Thanks for the update anyway Henry.

"Starting April 30, 2020, all iPhone apps submitted to the App Store must
be built with the iOS 13 SDK or later."
"Starting April 30, 2020, apps submitted to the App Store must use an Xcode
storyboard to provide the app’s launch screen. In addition, all apps that
run on iPhone must support all iPhone screens and all apps that run on iPad
must support all iPad screens.”
And a reference to Dark Mode: "If you need more time to make your apps look
fantastic in Dark Mode or if Dark Mode is not suited for your app, you’ll
need to opt out.”
“…you can temporarily opt out by including the UIUserInterfaceStyle key
(with a value of Light ) in your app's Info. plist file. Setting this key
to Light causes the system to ignore the user's preference and always apply
a light appearance to your app."
