No one said anything about repairs - people are currently free to buy and fit their own wipers from 3rd parties because we have specific legislation that says manufacturers can't forbid 3rd parties from making spare parts. I don't see why the same shouldn't apply here. >>You should read this article[0]. It outlines clearly that victims are downloading .apk files I feel for the victims but I literally don't see how that's an argument against sideloading.

I'm simply presenting a case in my own country. Where I've seen the negative effects of sideloading playing out. People's livelihoods are being destroyed. I do understand that sideloading is something desirable for some percentage of people. Point is every thing has pros / cons. Sideloading is like buying a car and upgrading it with NOS. Yeah it's wonderful. Your going to have a very powerful car. But the risks also increase. Most people don't need NOS in their car. I'm speaking for most people. In my household I recommend everyone to use Apple devices, it keeps them safe and happy. Ultimately everyone is entitled to their own choices and have to accept the consequences. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it plays out now that it's coming to iOS 17 in the EU.

No, sideloading is freedom. Imagine that car manufacturer put a part in your car that only works if: * watch ads or pay $ every month * collects all your information * has fake freedom to install only parts from their store that follow previous two points * extorts authors of parts for 30% all while smugly saying "take it or leave it".
