There are always tradeoffs. If the pendulum swings the other way how many innocent apps would be sacrificed at the altar of “good”. I rarely see any of the cost/benefit analysis here. The same problem occurs in many other realms of society.

I like the Android option of being able to download apps (at your own risk) from a url without the app store. It is optional and used by very few people of course. But freedom to choose at ones own risk is the guarantor of liberty from the App Store overlords and their dictates.
