How does it make sense to ask an app developer to appeal on behalf of a platform they have zero control over?

It doesn't, but platforms basically do everything they can to claim the various common-carrier liability shields in DMCA-like laws. In the U.S. that means they forward the takedown request to whomever generated the content, and in theory should allow that generator to comply, or publish a counterclaim.
The whole system falls on the floor though when the common carriers aren't, and have low quality processes that don't actually enable the counterclaim half of this process.

This seems like a well balanced approach. I do love the abuse mitigation measures in place to dissuade casually malicious actors. The fact that providing evidence itself is a deterrent just goes to show how ill intentioned most of them are.
