Hmm, well Apple already has seemingly got their profit from the device when it was...purchased the first time?

Or should phones just become a subscription service overall so that you can never actually own your own hardware?

The answer to both questions is... it's up to Apple. When you design and build a product it'd be up to you how you design for your revenue.

If Apple allowed side-loading apps or custom app stores that'd cost them more to build and support that functionality, and it would damage their existing functionality through extra complexity and security surface, harming their existing happy customers. They don't want to do it. Why should they? Use Android if you have a problem with it.
