Apple will soon be prevented from doing that when they are forced to open the App Store.

  We shouldn't be looking to Apple as our biased replacement for a government; they also, for example, pull apps that poke at how iPhones are made in sweatshops... that they occasionally move to do something someone finds valuable doesn't exonerate them or forgive how much power they have accumulated.

    > We shouldn't be looking to Apple as our biased replacement for a government; Who is doing that? Governments have so far completely failed to manage intrusive tracking. Apple isn’t acting like a government. They are simply recognizing that this is an attractive service and providing it. > they also, for example, pull apps that poke at how iPhones are made in sweatshops... that they occasionally move to do something someone finds valuable doesn't exonerate them or forgive how much power they have accumulated. This is just generic Apple hate and not relevant to the thread.

  Allowing alternative stores in iOS isn't even "opening the App Store".
