This is optional, available only for specific professional uses and above all: wearing a belt doesn't impact where you can go, whereas a locked down OS does impact what you run on it.

I do not have any problem with app stores as long as they are not tied to a locked down OS. See Steam or any Linux repository front-end as an example of app stores that do it right.

- Crinus 7y agoSo you need Apple's yearly approval to run your own software. Personally i consider this a major dystopian flaw of iOS and one of the main reasons i do not buy their devices (the other being their disregard towards backwards compatibility).
- scarface74 7y agoHow dare they drop support for 68K software! How far back do you think they should stay backwards compatible? The newest ARM chips in iOS devices don’t have any support for 32 bit instructions and MacOS hasn’t supported 32 but processors for over a decade.
