Nobody is saying you can't use just the Apple app store if you are more comfortable with that.

But I should also be allowed to use a floppy to get my software if i want.

Solving your small problem creates a big problem for Apple at scale. The wrong people use floppies and everything just gets messed up. Whats to stop some incentive from coming along that nudges people to use floppies when they shouldnt. This is what happened to me in the 6th grade. Free games. Plus virus. Tough pill to swallow but the best solution is the current one. Lock it all down. Want to hack around? Go play on some open stack
