It's not just developers who want this; I'm a user who owns and iPhone and I would like to be able to sideload or use other stores/payment systems. I don't want to use a web browser for anything I'd use an app for. The web is and always will be an inferior experience compared to a well-made native app. I don't want to use Android. Google's Android is so full of privacy holes that nobody really knows how to turn most of the data collection off. Open-source Android is incompatible with standard apps like my local public transit app due to over-reliance on Play Services. I do like the things you mentioned about Apple but just as I'll use raw credit cards or bank transfers with merchants I trust and PayPal for those I don't, I'd like to do the same with purchases on iOS. Sometimes I'd be happy to pay a premium to know I won't have to go through an arduous process to cancel a subscription, sometimes I wouldn't. I want the choice.
