>I have purchased zero items for use on my phone from places outside the App Store. I am very happy with this.

Because this is impossible, so how the fck would you judge the grapes you can't taste.

I assume the commenter’s choice of which smartphone to buy is related to these preferences. If the commenter wanted a smartphone that supports sidelining, they could switch to the other smartphone platform (the one that is vastly more popular than Apple’s).

We all know switching is not free, you might have a lot of digital assets locked inside the garden. Still nobody would force him to give money directly to a developer/artist he can continue feeding poor giant companies and you can check Google Play Store and see that is full of apps(includng Facebook,Apple and Microsoft apps) so there is no risk that an alternative will empty out the official store.
