If not using the App Store is an option, then a developer could just not use it and you could be forced to get an app from an insecure place. That defeats the purpose of the App Store.
- tengbretson 6y ago> That defeats the purpose of the App Store. It puts pressure on the App Store to not be so restrictive and greedy with royalties.

- Wowfunhappy 6y agoDevelopers will want to use the app store because they'll want to reach a broad userbase, just like on Android with the play store. (The Play Store has lots of scummy apps, but that's down to Google doing an awful curation job.)
