So, what other features do you wish to prevent and or remove from iOS/iPhones because you don't have a use for them even though they would not affect you one iota?

They do affect me - non-technical members of my family are on iPhones and I’m glad they can’t install malware by accident.

More generally, I don’t believe I nor anyone else should mandate anything about a private software company’s product roadmap (least of all spiteful bureaucrats obsessed with targeting American technology companies).

The precedent this sets is absurd. The market already provides a solution outside of arbitrary coercion: we all have the freedom to purchase other products.

Do non-technical members of your family accidentally disable Gatekeeper on their Macs?
