Locked down as in Apple won't let you run anything not going through the store on the device because it breaks their business model.
You aren't going to install a custom browser to test your front-end (or get usable devtools), no brew or package manager, no custom IDE unless it's built for iOS with its insane limitations (nobody is going to bother). At best you'd be able to port some dev tools and install with your certificate - and for what gain exactly ?
It's just not a general purpose computer, and it's certainly not a dev machine
- yellowapple 5y ago> because it breaks their business model Once upon a time, their business model was to build solid hardware and not get in the way of people who (like me) don't care for their software. I was hoping that the switch to M1 indicated some intention to return to that business model.
