> Openness does sound good but positioning it as a tradeoff with security bothers me. Having both would be good. Letting people write and install whatever program they want necessarily includes letting them write and install shitty programs. |

But when it comes to other people's devices, those other people probably want a say in who the device is open to and when, and for what purpose. Apple helps make it possible for them to have a say.
While I am free to install astoundingly shitty software on my own iPhone/iPad/Mac, Apple makes it difficult for me to install shitty programs on other people's Apple devices without their knowledge or consent.
Seems like a reasonable way of doing things. Open for your own device, and others get to decide for themselves what they are open to for their devices.
