DLLs preexist the iPhone by a long time. The implication of your argument is that Google is bankrupt because of F-Droid. Again, all of the big companies (Apple included) were shipping those things before the iPhone came along and blocked sideloading. In fact, those other companies still are provided those things (Apple included if you consider the mac). Some examples (non-exhaustive), since you are ignoring it: Microsoft: Onedrive, VS, VScode, C#, Visual Basic, .NET (upto and including core), windbg, MSVC, Windows, Windows app stores, etc Google: Dart, Go, Android Studio, Android, Google Drive, Google Play store & services, etc Apple: xcode, objective-c, cocoa, llvm, lldb etc all preexist the iphone as well The facts are: 1. Device owners should be able to install programs onto their phone without any interference from Apple. 2. Apple allowing this will not significantly affect their ability to remain profitable. 3. Most smartphone devices (Android) already do allow this.
