If the App Store wasn't the only place to download software on iPhone, you'd have more of a point. Instead, it doesn't matter what the relationship is between the user and Apple since there's only one option anyways. Apple wants to make the App Store look like Steam; at best, they're the built-in Microsoft store.

- lapcat 3y ago> I remember when the App Store didn't exist, and devs were begging for one. They weren't begging for an app store. They were begging for third-party native apps. The exact method of distribution of third-party apps is a different matter. From 1977 to 2007, all third-party apps on Apple platforms were independently distributed. (Some boxed software was sold in retail Apple Stores from 2001, but the software was not exclusive to Apple Stores.)
