I see your point, but: That's not an excuse, that's an explanation. It is anti freedom whether that's their end game or not. I don't really care about Apples motives, I care about the product.

Really, Apple is anti Nothing and pro only one thing: money. Everything else is a corollary. Including ease of use, freedom, and privacy. It's just that those things do matter to me (and GP).

What's an example of a common use case in which Apple is anti-freedom in your opinion?

Not being able to unlock your phone or sideload programs. I don't accept the "we know what's best for you" argument. They could have allowed jailbreaking and added huge warnings.

Apple allows you to 'sideload' apps as long as you get a (free) developer account.

Can I just download an IPA from a website and install it on my phone if I have a developer account?

Yes, but Apple doesn't points for those, they actively oppose them.

Presumably they're talking about the App Store walled garden.
