Reeks of projection that he thinks anyone who disagrees with him is a cultist, and not that maybe they just have a nuanced opinion. Yes I understand the benefits of having more app stores, but there are benefits to the current setup too. Having all apps installed from a single place means I don't have to worry about sourcing different apps from different places. If my grandma wants to install an app I tell her to go to the App Store, not to install Facebook's app store so she can then install Instagram. It's simple. This applies to almost every locked-down feature of Apple platforms. Having more browser rendering engines means more user freedom, but the current situation where every iPhone can only render web pages with Safari means web developers have to make sure their page works in something other than Chrome, and if something works on one browser on the iPhone it'll work on every browser on the iPhone. I've just accepted that I don't really want to use my smartphone as a powerful computing machine, it's a convenient secondary device that does enough to get me by without using a real computer, so I'm fine with these tradeoffs. It doesn't mean I'm a "cultist"
