It is just a coincidence that not allowing sideload and making Apple the sole gatekeeper of what gets installed on all iPhones ends up – surprisingly – benefiting Apple and making then trillions of dollars every year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd appreciate Apple being a bit more up front about the iPhone/App Store business model: Apple makes handheld game systems (games account for ~75% of the App Store business), and makes money from "free to play" games by licensing/taxing DLC.
