So you’re advocating freedom … by coercion? This is immoral.

Besides immoral, obviously tons of apps would leave the App Store for a different store making it a much crappier experience for folks that use those very popular apps.

yeah, that's exactly what happens on android! looks like you can have some nostradamus genes! Immoral is not owning a device when you bought it. Being able to sideload after passing some big warnings and red buttons is ok, just give me the option to do what i want with the device i've bought. This experience is default for macos, windows, android for decades and still, i haven't seen apps refusing being part of google store even if it cuts big part of profit (well i just remembered the dji app), but fb/insta/any other big player is still on google store People that don't want to sideload will not sideload, it's pure freedom
