I hope Appls never ceases control over its ecosystem because that’s why I’m buying its tech.

And there’s a reason why Apple is so careful with their power.

You should be able to have that. At the same time people should have the freedom to opt-out of this "walled garden".

Just like how you can opt-out of System Integrity Protection on macOS. Most/average people don't even know about SIP's existence, and are protected by it. Those who do know it (developers, etc.), have the freedom to opt-out.

It's not that simple. I just recently switched back from Android to iOS, and it's so much more convenient to have Amazon forced into the App Store than to have it constantly asking for me to temporarily change my security permissions so it can sideload its apps.

I did my best to never upgrade it before, to hopefully send some kind of signal to a PM somewhere inside Amazon, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They do have the freedom to opt out, they can buy and Android phone or Windows laptop.
