There are small developers that make free stuff and when someone asks for an Android port this devs can export an apk but for and .iOS person they can't give them a package.
Other example a kind makes a small mobile game and shares it with his friends , except his cousin is using iOS so he can't install and play it.
All this things you can't do on iOS is not because Apple is incapable of allowing this scenarios, is because this is not in Apple financial interest.
I assume someone would say something about security, the kid would maybe put code to steal your pictures, then my answer is the sandbox is garbage if you can trick it or trick the user to give full access for a small game and a competent developer would have placed code to fake data if needed.
Apple is getting greedy and pretending it acts for the user is getting harder and harder and eventually they will reach the limit, starting a fight with Epic will cost them more on the long run IMO because it makes more mainstream Apple practices that we on HN already knew but regular people did not know.
