If you look at Apple’s financial reports, it is. AppStore is a massive revenue stream for Apple. They’d rather have macOS locked down as iOS, than the other way around—iOS as open as macOS. They could not do that because locking macs down would severely cripple the platform and peopple would have a concrete example of how it became terrible. That attention would also shine a light on how terrible this aspect of iOS is. Notice how they’re telling how terrible everthing will become now on iOS in EU. Yet, the next macOS will be "the safest yet”. This is also why they don’t even acknowledge Mac’s existence in these posts.
