Definite article

Hi,
I found this sentence on the internet :
  1. The App Store has remained unchanged in terms of general fee structure since it first debuted in 2008, and while policies have been updated, the development principles have remained the same.
I think that the writer is referring to The App Store’ policies. So that these policies are specific ones. So that I think it should be “the policies “

Why do the writer omit definite here?

the policies suggests all of the policies.
policies suggests some of the policies.

It's doubtful that they would have updated all their policies.
