I think it is exactly sideloading that is the key issue.

Because Apple still pretends it's a tiny company, it has little obsessions that it pursues, it will ship a feature, and then leave it to rot with few to no improvements for years.

In order to convince Apple to improve user experiences across the OS, and not just whatever tickles its fancy in CURRENT_YEAR, it needs to actually compete. I lost count of all the apps that came out in the first half of iOS's life that opened Apple's eyes and moved them to include things in iOS, or open up permissions/entitlements for other apps.

What is your baseline? Android or the windows ecosystem? The latter is stable but has accumulated so much cruft over 3+ decades that it is very bloated to the point of being unusable. I especially hate the apple iOS keyboard. However, the competition between Android and iOS is insane and real and if that won’t get apple to innovate and improve quality, it is either impossible to achieve or the economics are not viable - even for 3T company.
