Since I cannot install stuff from a third party on my iPhone without paying Apple (unless Apple says I can), it is clear that I don't own my phone. So it seems fair that Apple then is the one paying for the efforts of getting FOSS support on their device.

Thankfully, you and Apple aren’t the only two choices here. That’s the thing about open source, isn’t it? Someone else is free to go and do it. And they are. The system is working as it should.

Today, that’s only partially true, finally, depending on where in the world you live.

That’s weird. When I browse the App Store it’s full of free apps.

That’s a weird way to say the developer decided to provide it for free
