I think the fact that Microsoft didn't do this with Windows and therefore allowed the entire computer revolution to go forward is lost on many people. There are so many ideas that are killed in their crib because 30% is too much to give away when you're a startup. On Android I basically stopped using many official play store apps and instead went open source. Ungoogled chromium for example allows desktop extensions and I'm currently typing this comment with ublock origin on mobile working perfectly just like on desktop. I don't understand how a self proclaimed techie can cede control to that level and not be able to install programs without big brother Apple's blessing.
