If you can force thru a change to allow other app stores on an IDevice, and Apple still refuses to follow thru, then you can say you deserve it.
Wanting a thing is not the same as deserving it. Choice does not exist until you have options.
That said, I’m in favor of opening up other App Stores, so Apple can boot the all crapware and focus on a small number of high-quality, trustable apps, which they can market as such. Apple and the developers could charge a premium for being trusted and consumers would be able trust that they are actually receiving the best-in-class apps for their device.
Then, if consumers want to go to some cut-rate App Store and buy crap apps, that’s on them.
That’s a win-win all around.
What would you be willing to give up so that Apple would support your desired outcome more?
People at Apple choose not to spend their time, money, and energy on supporting third-party app stores.
You can choose to do whatever you want. But you can't force people at Apple to choose to do something.
Apple doesn't need to support third party app stores. Apple actively hinders them.
Do you require that McDonald's will sell you a Pepsi, when McDonald's want to sell you Coca-Cola? Do you demand that you should be allowed to set up a Pepsi store inside a McDonalds?
How would they have to write extra code to support this? They already support 3rd party apps. Your analogies are bad.
Granted, they might choose to write some code to manage how these additional stores work, but theres no technical reason I can think of that they would have to.
