You are VASTLY overestimating how strong the App Store vetting process is. The majority of the security comes from strong sandboxing in the OS, which also applies to apps installed through third-party stores (or Xcode, etc)
This whole situation seems Kafkaesque. Apple sold billions of iOS devices because party because of the experience they were offering. People like me sort that experience out. Now people saying are that no, that experience was anti consumer.
There’s less choice in the mobile smart phone space because of this. I have no idea why people want iOS to be Android when there’s already Android. And apparently Google’s Android model isn’t good enough either.
