That's not really true. The security implications. The effort of having to fix my mom's phone because she got tricked into sideloading something.
The last day of my dad's life in a hospital bed was interrupted by my mom's malware filled android phone playing voice advertisements for a casino app every 30 minutes. It was from some supposed "emoji pack" she installed online. I got her an iPhone the next week.
Let me have a locked down device. Opening it up will negatively affect the experience of users who want that.
