Same reason HN goes against Apple when it comes to battery repairs. App Store is optional extended functionality. A battery impacts your ability to use your phone or car for its fundamental purpose.

How so? Without the app store an iPhone becomes just an expensive cordless telephone.

  The Web browser is built-in. I personally don't install almost any apps on my smartphones, because I don't need much beyond that. It is extremely useful without any additional apps. Not as much without a battery.

    There's a difference between "almost any" and no apps at all.

      Sure, but the apps I install are a better browser and a blocker for sites I don't want to accidentally open.
