People installing what they like on their devices doesn’t change how your device works

No amount of repetition is going to convince such people. Their entire argument is predicated on an absolutely erroneous belief that sideloading or user modifications will somehow ruin the experience of people who don’t wish to modify their phone knowing fully well that more setting for users won’t diminish the experience for other users. They’re literally playing stupid to defend a corporation and its practices.

I don't have a strong opinion about sideloading applications.
What I'm more concerned about is Apple being forced to allow non-WebKit browsers in the App Store.
Apple requiring the use of WebKit on iOS is the only thing stopping Chrome from having a complete monopoly, aside from Firefox with its 5% marketshare.

I am equally terrified of Chrome's dominance in the browser market.
I don't agree that forcing WebKit on iOS is the solution, however. The law should seek to break Chrome's monopoly, not enforce another.
