I agree that things used to be different, but, not usually better. apps used to be malware a lot more on desktops, no sites had great reliability records, and the OSes and devices were slow, heavy, and un optimized. Sure, phones are not desktops of 2001, but for many people that is a good thing. In fact, despite several attempts by different companies to create open phones, most people Demonstrate that they would rather buy and use closed ones. If you want true open OS on your phone, you probably have a niche desire. Personally, I would rather the App Store be more selective on whether apps really worked or not. More open certainly has appeal, but more low quality apps to wade through doesn’t appeal much.
