> why should the government get to tell Apple how to run their app store?

Do you simply not believe in anti-trust law then?

What if microsoft forced you to pay them a 30 percent cut, for installing other web browsers, or apps? You would be ok with that?

Isn’t this the case on the XBox? People seem to be fine with it.

Microsoft should absolutely be able to do that if they wanted and in fact do that when you buy something from their Windows store. But not allowing side loading of apps would be bad for business. Linux would see a huge gain in marketshare.
