> And yet that hasn't happened on macOS despite existing for two decades. Hasn’t it? Pretty much everyone else seems to think it has. The cottage industry of high quality Mac software makers is practically dead and even the Omni Group is struggling. As for Cydia, that was too small to be a model for anything. It’s also from another era. Remember Facebook was just a web app in those days, and nowhere near the behemoth it is today. Android stores other than Google play are all second class citizens and so not relevant. The proposals for alternate app stores on iOS are all explicit that they cannot be second class citizens. Facebook would love to approve apps that have a tracking identifier and don’t ask permission to track. What would stop them if they ran their own store?
