Can someone explain why my stored Bramley apples develop a greasy skin?

I have always assumed that it is natures way of protecting them. They
are, after all, renowned "keepers"

Can't explain why, but they always do it, it doesn't spoil their eating
quality.

Natural oils from the fruit skin. Helps keep the flesh moist and
discourages fungal rots from getting established.

We had a massive Bramley in the big garden at our last house.
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaar too many to harvest and we let them drop. The birds loved
them and we never ever saw any fungal rot.
