if nobody wants to run anything besides Candy Crush and Snapchat on their phones then why should Apple be forced to allow installing other apps?

It’s extremely telling that you couldn’t come up with an example based on reality.

But yeah, in that scenario it would be utterly nonsensical to force Apple to enable something which nobody wants.

It is reality today. You cannot install any app that Apple has not approved of.
You are clearly being dishonest here, I can install many apps besides the two you named.

Things obviously aren’t as bad as you want to communicate, otherwise you would not have to rely on strawmen like this.

Can you install Firefox with Ublock Origin?
No
So things are really bad.
