those are services, not mobile os that is was i was refering to.. so that is beside the point i was making.. sure they do not allow third-party stores, but they also do not exclude you to use their store to sell your apps.. for the people complaining about not being able to use their own apps without dev account.. not allowing people to hurt themselves is a design choice for apple, if you want flexibility go android.. also third-party stores is a two edge sword, it allow user more control but also allow you to harm yourself more.. this is why android is a shit show of malware while in ios this is much less of a problem, although to be far it does happen from time to time.. apple will just use the card that third party stores harm their users.. and that you can just use their app store.. that is why they do not allow third party stores and likely never will..
