Look again.
Switching to Developer Mode and hitting Ctrl-L at the boot up screen allows you to boot from USB or SD Card.

This statement is so disingenuous that I'm just going to stop quoting here.
Hello? iOS? Couldn't even remove icons/apps like Newsstand off your homescreen for 7 OS versions.
You need to familiarize yourself a bit more with what you're criticizing lest you sound like a head-in-the-sand zealot.

- Sebb767 5y agoI mentioned that exclusion in the first comment. I re-emphasized it in the second comment. If we don't limit ourselves to PCs, I raise you my PS1 - could not even play a burned CD without hardware modifications, let alone customize anything. Predates iOS by 13 years.
