MAV Pilot was not rejected as it was not used as the 'autopilot' for the drone. It is used to 'control' the drone and all is does in that aspect is send a list of GPS waypoints for the on-board autopilot to follow.
The clause from Apple really is making a clear case of using the phone as the autopilot. For example, coming in and plugging your phone into your car, and then the phone controls the car as it autonomous brain.
If you look at the Android T&C I'm sure there is a disclaimer there as well for such a use. I couldn't imagine any lawyer not making sure Google, Microsoft, Apple or any big map providing company have their backsides covered for this type of eventuality.
