Because the user decided to buy into a closed platform. He could have chosen an open Android platform.

My parents chose iOS over Android for the security, ease of use, unification AND the App Store.

I’d say stop forcing your agenda on the users. They have the right to choose what they want. They voted with their money and do it each year.

Nobody's forcing anything on anyone. What you campaign against with this screed is choice. If someone wants to stay within the walled garden, nobody is taking that from them.

None of that is lost with the ability to have alternative app stores. Creating more choice is the the opposite of forcing anything on users.

Maybe, but unlikely. The operating system still needs provide APIs and access. Alternate app stores doesn't mean apps can do anything they want on the device.
