> I feel that Apple protects us from bad programmers for the most part, because if you look at Android and the lower quality of many of their apps been using Android for over a decade now, not once did I feel a particular need to be extra-protected by the Big Brother. I'm all for competition, enjoy your devices, Android is far from perfect, but I will not let Jobs or anyone else living or dead dictate what I can or can't install on my expensive-ass phone. I know, data point of one, but so is this "i feel" comment.

Exactly. You're an Android user. You're okay with Google's business model of giving away their code so they can make it back with advertising revenue. It's totally fine. If you are happy with that then more power to you. I'm just echoing how Apple users feel about the product that we buy in large numbers and are also very happy with. The reality is that we are forced to install apps in modern life. Want to go to a concert then you have to install our app. Want to board a plane then you have to install our app. Want to talk to your friends on whatsapp, then you have to install our app. Why do we have to give all this private information to McDonald's to buy a hamburger? We like having someone put limits on the programs running on our phones, because we often have little choice but to install the programs.
