Wow, that’d be a really cool name for bureaucracy if it applied here!
however, it has been hard to distinguish between the exploitation of pre-existing divisions by opponents, and the deliberate creation or strengthening of these divisions implied by “divide and rule”.
In this case, it’s “the exploitation of pre-existing divisions”. It’s not like Apple lobbied for “the European nation” to be split.
I’m pretty sure it was also for compliance with local laws.

I really don’t know if they have separate app stores between north and south Korea :-)
For all the rich “western” countries, there is only the one legal-cultural difference between (former) British empire and the Latin influenced world. All other law differences are minor.
There absolutely are big differences. Civil vs. common law is about the judicial, and compliance (if it’s lucky) deals mostly with the legislative.
The EU itself has been created partly to synchronize legal frameworks across member states, so companies like Apple can operate more smoothly and uniformly. Just think about stuff where Wolfenstein games either didn’t release or had separate editions just for Germany. Or just the existing different tax systems in the EU where they are not just different by value but by structure.

Apple can’t even sell to North Korea, so no they have no North Korean App Store.
As for legal differences, I think maynarkh said it much better than me.
