Just to be clear about your argument, you’re saying that’s a bad thing? Is it wrong for a company to protect revenue—and remember 70% of revenue goes to the developer—from loss due to piracy?

There are plenty of valid reasons to object to Apple’s revenue model, but the avoidance of piracy seems like a bridge too far.

I'm saying that's how it is, I agree with you on that Apple should be allowed to do this to protect their revenue model, even if it comes at the expense of users not being able to run unsigned code/other app stores on iOS.
