But that’s how they decided to fund other areas like having iOS free. I still don’t understand the logic behind the complaint. If the developers don’t want to pay, why not just drop support for iOS? If the answer is because customers are on iOS then… idk respect that this is the decision of the user. Don’t force me to install another App Store or give you my card data so you can charge me the same amount and keep more profit while compromising my privacy and security

Isn't that funded by iDevice and Mac sales? Because Mac sales sure as hell aren't going to MacOS development...

You have it completely opposite.

The argument is that the user should be given full power and permission over their own device that they own, and should be allowed to choose, on their iPhone, to install whatever they want.

If a user doesn't want to install an app, thats fine. But give them the choice to do so.

> Don’t force me to install another App Store

Then don't install another app store! Just don't do it!

Apple, being part of a duopoly, should not have that power. That's all. I don't care about protecting their business or whatever the fuck else.
