It is not a precondition to have success in society to use an Apple device, so why does it matter that they chose to operate the way they do?
A developer might want to target Apple specifically because AppStore provides a potentially high consumer lifetime value client for your offering; but guess what, if you were as valuable to your customer as Netflix, you could abide by Apple's rules completely and still be a successful company. The AppStore in app purchase doesn't matter -- Netflix iOS just says, 'good luck! figure out how to sign in!'
Which gets to the other part of this, side loading != pay through AppStore. The 30% rake is the wind for this bill's sail, and it's not right. Just mandate alternate payment links like EU / whoever.
Side loading will lead to more 0 clicks and NSO breakthroughs. The surface of attack is increasing.
