The Chinese solution to "disharmony" is to simply erase anyone who is different. LGBT people are allowed to exist so long as they don't draw attention to themselves. Also the ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang.

I don't think these were intended to stop online bullying as much as they are just another bullying tactic themselves.

Exactly. The Chinese government's vision of a clean, sterile, society and citizenship.

Is this all that different from Apple's walled garden? You want a porn app on your iPhone or a Political app, both are banned and no user oriented way to side load. (geek only solutions don't count).

Political apps exist? Bernie has an app and I'm sure the other major party candidates do too.

Porn also seems like a very reasonable place to draw the line for the app store. It's not like the iPhone has a porn filter, you just have to use a browser to watch your porn.
