Why do people think that iOS will become like Windows when we all know that iOS (and Android) were designed with app sandboxing from start and not like Windows where a program can do anything it wants to.

EU could decide next that app sandboxing is anticompetitive restrictive gatekeeper behavior and force Apple to change that too. It too violates the ‘it is my hardware let me do what I want’ ethos expressed in this comment section.

And they should because full access to your own electronics should be a right, not a privellege.
Android already provides the option to root their phones and no reasonable user would go through the process to root their phone!
Even iOS had jailbreaks for a long time and exactly what kind of harm has that brought to the iOS ecosystem? Zero. Nothing.
The process to root/jailbreak definitely should not be an easy process because most users should definitely not be doing it. But it must exist.
