Yeah, so we can have one store with strict policies that protect users and the value of the hardware; and a bunch of other shit stores that offer apps that can hijack our devices. That makes sense!

And then Apple is to blame, and can spend tons of dollahs and man hours to fix problems caused by your "open" alternatives.

Oh yeah because that's what Android have been spending all their money on...
remember a few years back when windows was trying to promote their mobile app store and they were paying people to write shit apps just to have them hosted in the store? Or android where (at least they used to ) have fake apps that tell you how to "get" the real app ?
