I'm extremely free market but phones are used by practically everyone and 1 of the practically only 2 operating systems won't allow anyone whatsoever to distribute applications in any way outside of their totalitarian system. I get your point and I'm not for forcing Apple to allow free side loading apps yet (I have an android partially because of this reason) but it is infuriating that when I had an iphone, I could not use any apps not allowed by them and annoying that i don't have that ability if I ever want to go back to an Iphone (and a major blocker for going back to be honest now that phone upgrades don't mean much these days).
