> I think the user experience will be worse off
Two points
1. User experience is already bed. No access to game streaming services and many valid open source apps not available on iOS
2. User experience is not be the only matrix that matters. What about poor indie developer whose app is banned due to opaque App store rules. What about having control over device you bought with your own money
- ericmay 5y agoWhy not just buy a different product with different features then? Mobile phones have a lot of different features. Some have better cameras than others. Some have longer battery life, can fold, or come in different colors. Some have different operating systems. App stores/software isn't any different. The user experience on the Nintendo Switch is terrible. I can't play World of Warcraft of Halo on it at all! And why can't I watch Netflix shows through the Hulu app? Why does Netflix get to buy content and keep it on their Netflix store? At least the Apple App Store is free. I don't have to pay for access to apps. > What about poor indie developer whose app is banned due to opaque App store rules They'll just have the opportunity to get banned from more than one store I guess. Then once this indie developer decides its profitable to scam their customers they'll create their own app store and just install their software that way, bypassing any legitimate bans too.

More app store will compete with each other to provide better app delivery service to developers. 2. Host the app on a website and install it from there. No need for app stores. There I solved it for you I'm not going to reply to you anymore as your arguments lack depth and seriousness
