Thats like claiming Isaak newton was a great scientist because he stayed a virgin.

People buy iPhones and tolerate lack of sideloading.

If you’re going to make that claim, you’ll need to back it up with literally any evidence or even anecdote.

I buy iPhone because it is basically the only reliable computer I own, and a single, reputable source of software is a big part of that. Not being extorted into installing Steam is a huge part of that.

No, I didn’t _really_ have a choice to install Steam and I fucking hate it, thank you very much.

What? That's a terrible analogy. I don't even understand what point you're trying to make. Those 2 things aren't related. A large percentage of iPhone users buy the device because there are less avenues for issues.
