But that's not what the discussion is about. Frigidaire doesn't try to limit you to only putting stuff you bought at Walmart into their fridges.

Nor does Apple: you can have as many PWAs as you want. As JS is Turing complete, you can then have every sort of app. They've always encouraged PWAs.

Unless you want to legally force every company to surrender their source code (which I enthusiastically would support), there's no legal basis for Apple not being able to have their proprietary feature phone locked down.

Though if you'd like, you can look at Keurig, which does limit what you can put into it to "only Keurig products" or one of the millions of other things that limit what you can put into it.

Whatabout...

If I buy a house I can put any fridge in there. If I get an iPhone, I can only buy through the App Store.

What use case is there for Fridgidaire refrigerators that cannot be fulfilled by other brands?

What use case is there for Apple devices that cannot be fulfilled by other brands? Literally none.

There are no other options for Apple devices besides the App Store. This is not about a monopoly in the smartphone market.
