Google gatekeeps by default but you can trivially bypass and install custom app stores or sideload apps. Apple gatekeeps, and does everything in its power to prevent you from bypassing that. Seems like a rather striking difference...
- heavyset_go 6y agoThird party app stores can't implement background installations, auto-upgrading, or batch installs because of the restrictions Google put in place on Android. Using third party app stores is hindered experience on Android. The Play Store can do background installations, auto-upgrading and batch installs of software, while competitors can't. That's anticompetitive behavior in my book.
