> just don't use those sideloaded apps. Nobody is forcing you to install Facebook or any other trendy app of the day except your own weakness and childishness.

If we’re going to bring consumer choice into this argument, why can’t the consumer who wants sideloading just vote with their wallet? I’ve yet to read a good argument here for this separation. After all, “nobody is forcing you to buy iPhones except your own weakness and childness.”

You mention how Android isn’t better in that regard, but it’s still an option.
