iOS is literally the only major consumer OS which does not allow its users to install arbitrary software. I guess Hey would be happy not to use "services" of App Store and offer their users an installer to download or a link to some alternative store instead. But they can't: they have to pay Apple a ransom.

Yes, unfortunately. That's good for Apple, but not good for us, so it's in our best interests if this situation changes somehow.
- hellisothers 6y agoI mean yea, you hit the nail on the head, Apple doesn’t offer the option to side load apps which is a huge reason why I happily suggest people use the ecosystem. If you want to side load apps there is a super available alternative, nobody is forcing your hand. Honestly feel like I’m missing something.
