And this is why Apple needs to be forced to allow app sideloading on iOS. A software and hardware company shouldn't be playing police.

Or just stop buying Apple devices? That way the duopoly can shift from iOS/Android to Android/<Linux phones, or some other open alternative>.

I realize many people are heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, especially since Apple encourages that with the proprietary integrations between their different devices, but there's a point when one should realize they have a choice. It's a walled garden not a prison.

As an app developer, this isn't a choice I get to make. I myself have used Android ever since modern smartphones became a widespread phenomenon.

Don’t buy their phones.

The rest of us will continue to because we want Apple policing apps on our behalf.
