That's just because those developers chose to design a pixel-perfect UI and not use the auto-layout features in iOS. As I said previously, the small number of screen sizes available on iOS makes this approach feasible, and allows for optimally designed UIs.

From what I gather, every single time Apple puts out a new screen resolution, and many do, their developers have to put out a new version of their app that includes another set of artwork exactly scaled to that new resolution.

I'm afraid your understanding is wrong. iOS developers can choose to design pixel perfect UIs for each screen resolution, and many do, but they don't have to - they have the option to use auto-layout.
