It's a feature for Apple. To extract money from you and the makers of the apps you love.

For you? It's a prison. Apple is glad you like it.

Is it a prison that I don't have to install a hundred different launchers ? that I have a reliable way to refund my purchases ? That I don't have to share and trust a random developer with my credit cards ?

Yes, because none of that requires the app store.
