  There are other options for phones if you want to run 3rd party unapproved apps. I use an iPhone partially because there is less garbage in the App Store. Are you upset that console manufacturers control who publishes games or software on their platform? None of the current (or past) major consoles allow third-party unapproved software (without bypasses), leading to the same situation.

Would you say that gatekeeping video games is equal to gatekeeping software that could be essential to people's lives(finance, health, social media, etc)?

  If others want to trust other authorities they can buy Android. The problem with allowing third party stores is that doing so makes social engineering attacks impossible to stop. I don’t want to prevent others from trusting other authorities, which is why I think an alternative in the form of Android is essential. But we need a platform which is not open to social engineering attacks because a lot of people need it.
