I don’t see how allowing sideloading wouldn’t be a solution for both sides.

It doesn’t explain why if sideloading is what people want, they don’t just buy Android.
People keep trying to say this is about them being denied choice, and yet the choice they say they want is widely available.
And my point is that random application developers should not disallow me from using my device in any way I want to, nor they should be allowed to make my device work against my interests.
So far, as a user, for the last 25 years, Apple has not disallowed me as much as random developers have, and in fact Apple has fought that fight on my behalf.
What Apple is doing by limiting developers powers is 100% in my interest since I don't care about developers that are hostile to me.
I 100% agree that I should be able to run what I want, but the other side of the story matters too. Maybe there's a technical solution? Maybe if everything was open source? Maybe better sandbox/firewalls?
