However, the repository was for convenience. Nothing stops you from adding a new repository to install new apps. You simple have no choice with iOS on that front.

You have some choice on Android though, through both sideloading and using third-party app stores like F-droid.

I have a problem with iOS not allowing sideloading in a way that's viable for most applications, but I don't see having a default, managed system for installing software as a problem in itself.

Ohh I agree with Android. I just use AOSP and f-droid, and it works great
