Here’s How iPhone App Store Ratings Work. Hint: They Don’t. (techcrunch.com)

The big problem here is that Apple is not in the business of rating content like the Entertainment Software Rating Board or the MPAA, which makes it difficult for them to implement a similar age-appropriate-content rating system.


Sounds like the last two were added per very specific instructions from Apple's legal team (I imagine the word "graphic" has a well defined legal meaning in this context), while the others were written earlier.
