I have seen many arguments, but "I like not having a choice. And I want others not having a choice too, whether they like it or not" has never been one, nor has any argument I have seen ever get close to that. I think that Apple should allow apps to be installed from outside of the app store, but your argument is just a straw man.

"Straw man"? This is a top comment in a previous thread: As a consumer, I am 100% in favor of the way run the app store. I don't want to give random apps my credit card. I don't want to have 18 accounts to keep track of. I don't want to have to call telephone support to cancel my account. I don't want malware in my apps. I don't want apps to have my email if they don't need it. I don't need another middleman for content companies license and distribute. Everything Apple is doing is helping make a better app store for me. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24013658 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24013658 I can add that he also doesn't want Chinese dissidents to run Signal or XMPP app to bypass wiretapping by the oppressive government.

  Agree or disagree, none of those things in the list sounds like your "I like not having a choice." But I guess that's how you want to read them.

a comment just a bit below yours is (unironically, sadly) : > I'm very happy in my locked platform, I'm happy that my family are on a locked platform. > If they (or I) want to be on a more open platform then that exists, just not for apple devcies; but for now I trust random developers less than I trust Apple.
