> What's being removed from you again? Don't sideload apps if you don't like sideloading. Keep using Apple's app store if you like it, or maybe in the future, you will find you like an app store better than Apple's. We will never find out if someone does it better than Apple, if nobody can even try.

Um, the fact I've told any semi-non-competent person to buy iPhone because it very specifically won't screw up like the popup ridden land of Android.

How does this relate to your original comment claiming you're losing something you paid for?

And if Apple can't keep the quality of their software from falling to that level, just because of being slightly more open, then that is their failure.

What? They’ve already prevented it from falling to that level. If that is changed through legislation how is it their failure?

Because they exercise enough control over their platform, the App Store is far from the only avenue of protection.
