> you still find similar attempts to control

Sure, though it doesn't mean what you want it to mean since you just ignore the $$$ elephant in the room that explains the desire for more control. For the same reason, you "stand firm" in ignorance as to "why the iPhone is locked down"

> Obvious it was made up

Glad you realise that.

> intentionally low bar

Intentionally appearing like one

> if you want to believe ... software is 100% safe to use

Again with your fantasies. I believe the justification should be grounded in reality, both in terms of the % estimate as well as in terms of the severity (so no, "bug free" is irrelevant, you need severe billions-afecting bugs that can only be eliminated by hard-forcing the app store, which you can't have since the reality doesn't align with you).

And as to your standing firm in your argument "why it’s a good thing", well, you don't really have an argument, just a desire for one with made up stats and corporate motivations

Alrighty, so I guess what we have learned that apparently some number at 100% or perhaps less of all software is apparently released bug free. However, we don’t know for sure “the perhaps less”, despite all of the numerous historical examples of shit software being released that has wrecked havoc that we or others have experienced. And since we don’t know that precise number we are not allowed to state any estimate no matter how modest that is below that 100% of software perfection. Therefore, a device manufacturer would never need or should do anything that attempts to protect the consumer and their market share by protecting the device’s perceived reliability by preventing buggy software from being installed, because buggy software doesn’t exist.

Thanks for the education in the importance of precision and the rejection of experience in determining reality. I’ll ignore my decades of having to clean up all the messes that apparently non-existent buggy shit software managed to do to novice and lay users who willy-nilly installed it…or maybe didn’t install it, since it was imaginary.

By the way…before you respond again you might read up a bit on situational irony. You seemed to have missed it on my prior comment…and this one is dripping with it.

Your drips don't land because you can't make up a valid argument, ignore what I said and resort back to your fantasy land again fighting your imaginary 100%s and do-nothings

Yeah that’s it. I am in awe of your reality.
