>In the AppStore if you are a bad actor you get kicked out and need to consider if you want to pay to get another developer license to keep publishing garbage

If that is good for the Apple's App Store, shouldn't we want that in other stores? If so, why isn't that policing work done democratically so we can call it "law + law enforcement"?

What's wrong with diversity?

I like having the option of a closed wall "curated" market, and an open install anything market.

I can do my banking on my iPhone and have the password saved on it, while having an Android running F-droid running whatever I want that will never touch my banking info.

What's wrong with having MORE choice. iPhone are no where near market monopoly.
