It was probably an idea of their "genius team".

Apple has always been fond of censorship. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Apple Fanboys will say it is their platform and they can do what they want with it, but the fact is the companies and customers are not free with these phones.

It's only a game, Apple is being overly cautious. Unless the game was so precise on how to get the seeds and grow the plant, and may be where to sell the weed, it should be restored. I can see the dev's point, Grand Theft Auto is criminal simulator game, and App Store seems to be ok with it.
