The App Store has remained unchanged

[LE AVOCADO]

Hi,
I found this sentence on the internet :

1. The App Store has remained unchanged in terms of general fee structure since it first debuted in 2008, and while policies have been updated, the development principles have remained the same.

I think that the writer is referring to The App Store’ policies. So that these policies are specific ones. So that I think it should be “the policies “

Why do the writer omit definite here?

Why do did the writer omit the definite article here?

I doubt if it occurred to them to use it.

I doubt if it occurred to them tp use it.

Hi, I don’t get what you mean, can you help me to explain more in details?

When did you discover the sentence in your first post? And when the one in the second?

Yes, you told us. I asked you when you found the two different versions.

Definite Article?

Please do not post the same question simultaneously to more than one forum. Doing so wastes our valuable time. Instead, post your question to one forum and wait for replies. If you're not satisfied with those replies, you can try another forum, but please indicate in your thread that you've already asked the same question elsewhere (provide a link), and outline why you were not satisfied with the answers you received already.
