Ppl are not buying iphone bc they think they can't install ff with gecko lol, they buy iphones bc these are good hardware and longterm support. Both of these will remain unchanged with ability to sideload apps

Incorrect. A select few greedy people are using force for stupid ends.

Besides immorally using force now the iPhone will be littered with alt stores where you can only get certain popular apps making the iPhone a nightmare.

Those who thought they were so clever in forcing change will be seen to be fools.
