I don't get this safety defense from the Apple side. They could allow a different store like F-Droid on Android. Nobody would force your elder parents to install that one. For every other app on the "original store", charge a one time fee for checking the security and be done with it. Implying that being open = being attacked is fearmongering.

it's a very clear example of a completely disingenuous defence from Apple. Apple could very easily please all parties if they wanted to. they could add safeguards like this and more to maintain the safety of vulnerable users, and still provide flexibility and freedom to advanced users. if you take their market dominance out of the equation, there would be no downside. however their market dominance is in the equation and it illustrates how fake of an argument it is
