How about don't tell me what device I can or can't use? I want to sideload on my iPhone.

Nobody is telling you what device you can use.

Why would you buy a device that doesn’t do what you want?

Why do people move to America when there is crime happening there? Maybe there are good things in America as well. You appreciate the good things and then try to fix the bad things.

This is a false analogy.

All countries have crime, and the switching cost is immense. However some countries are much worse than others which makes it worth it.

Phones are at parity in terms of features, and the switching cost is trivial.

You have a point when looking at Zimbabwe or something. However people move from Canada to USA too - or from Northern Ireland to Ireland.

Right but it’s still not comparable.

Moving even between counties is not comparable to just spending a few hundred dollars on a phone.
