> So no, Apple shouldn't be forced to help people sideload, but they should be forced to stop hindering people from sideloading.

Now you sound like FBI director "we need backdoors for the good guys". By allowing a mechanism for side loading weakens the security of the device. If a good guy can use it, so can a bad guy.

At the end of the day the proposition is very simple, there's no need to go into those backdoor analogies.

No device manufacturer should have more control over that device's code execution than the end user of that device does after the sale.
