Re:Epic Games steps up Apple fight with EU antitrust complaint by the_other on Wednesday February 17, 2021 @12:33PM (#26168988)
My desktop is a device for making, exploring, working, tinkering, making mistakes, hoarding. My phone is a device that solves problems or unlocks doors (metaphorically) near-instantly.

I’m tolerant to friction (some) on my “exploratory” device. I’m intolerant to friction on my pocket-tool. The latter must always just work or it is pointless. I’m happy to trade freedom for stability for that use case, and deeply frustrated to make that same trade for the other.

Few thing is not a tradeoff, but allowing sideloading is not one. (Or it is, to apple’s profits)
