The reasons for the absence are pretty self-explanatory. iOS itself is proprietary.
First, someone would need to initiate a project to create a free software clone of iOS, like ReactOS re Windows or even GNU re UNIX. That's a worthwhile project in and of itself.
- Jyaif 4y ago> iOS itself is proprietary. That's not a reason at all.
- pwdisswordfish9 4y agoF-Droid is a free software catalogue.
- mfuzzey 4y agoThe OS itself being proprietary isn't a reason to not have sideloading or alternative stores. Windows is proprietary too yet you've always been able to download a .EXE from arbitary web sites.
- pwdisswordfish9 4y ago> isn't a reason to not have sideloading or alternative stores Who argued otherwise? On the topic of F-Droid in particular not being available for iOS, there _is_ a reason behind it.
