There is nothing that prevents you from staying in the managed garden. Just use the Apple app store, and don't use other app stores.

> Developers, especially on HN, cannot accept there is group of customers that just doesn't want to interact them directly.

Then don't interact with them. Just use the Apple app store only. Problem solved.

There is nothing that prevents you from staying out and using all other platforms app stores. There are plenty.

Correct. When this bipartisan bill passes, everyone will be able to install whatever app store that they want on their iPhone, and Apple won't be able to do anything to stop it.

The future is going to be pretty awesome, when the law forces Apple to make it extremely easy for people to use other app stores.

Future is already there on PC: Steam, Epic, EA and zillion other stores - it sucks. In China there are hundreds of Android stores - it also sucks.

Ok, and when the bill passes it will be their for smartphones as well, and people will be able to install whatever app store on their android or iPhone.

> it sucks

Then don't install the app stores that you don't like, lol. Problem solved. Only use Apple's, if that is what you prefer.

You are free to not use other app stores, correct.

Don't use app stores that you don't like.
