> Apple has all the legal rights to do that
Law doesn't say what's morally right.
> I personally don't let tech unsavvy people from the family use anything but the App Store and iPhone
Do you also make sure they can only access Apple-certified websites in the browser? No? Sounds pretty unsafe.
> I know they would be easily scammed by shady apps that don't have to pass through the App Store's review process
Both Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store have hosted malware in the past.
It's quite rare for the average user to even try installing Amazon's third-party appstore, let alone a random .apk from the internet, it's about having the option to be less dependent. Sure some users will be negatively affected, just like some people could be convinced to put their iPhone in the microwave to recharge the battery, but if you take that seriously you might as well ban knives.
> That is clearly a monopolistic advantage to Apple, but the alternative is equally bad
You need to be a lot more convincing to tell me that something is as bad as a monopoly.
