Except in this case your beloved android lets you do whatever you want, so why not go use them?
And there are multiple manufacturers that aren’t associated with Google who make phones.
If this were truly such a shortcoming, more companies, in addition to already existing ones, would create phones with side loading apps.
Imagine me pitching my idea to YC, it’s like an iPhone, but with side loading apps! It’s brilliant!
You’d be laughed out of the room.
The issue is you want those good Apple features, you want that Apple ecosystem, the blue bubbles, etc, but you also want to have a feature that the phone doesn’t have and people are crying that Apple won’t give them that feature.
I don’t even care, and I even if I did, decisions already been made so there’s nothing to argue.
This is simply an amusing situation, the grandstanding is simply funny.

- gxs 3y agoI don’t think you made the point you think you made here. It’s possible to not care about something and still submit an opinion. Or maybe it’s the degree of caring that is confusing you, I care enough to comment and have a viewpoint, but I don’t care to the degree that I am upset or will lose any sleep over it. There you go, hope this helps you understand what I meant there so that you are no so hung up on it so as to feel the need to quote it. Please do save me the suspense and share the punchline now! It’s perfectly reasonable to use YC here as at the end of the day they’ve helped launch of ton of companies that are popular with consumers. Regarding the irony in using them as an example of corporate righteousness, well you did get me there and I agree with you.
