Android is way more popular in the EU than iPhone, allows sideloading, and I am not aware of these issues being rampant with it ?

  While sideloading is possible on Android, it appears to be sufficiently difficult that Google isn't effective with the argument that this makes them "not a monopoly". As a tech person I find this weird, but then I remember the relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2501/ https://xkcd.com/2501/

    But then the argument that opening iOS up is going to cause security issues isn't effective either.

      Why so? Surely if normal people can't do a thing, even if only because it's too complicated or inconvenient, normal people aren't going to be a big source of security issues due to that thing.
