I'm not in EU and pretty sure I can side load apps, just need Xcode. I installed from source some paid but open source terminal emulator app a couple years ago

Either you have to reinstall every 7 days, or pay $99/year for the privilege. There's another idea for a website: how much does it cost to transfer your own app you compiled yourself over your own USB cable to your own device?

      I was sarcastic. I don't need to dig through pages to find out some rando's adjusted definition of a word. "I want X to be free and easy so I will change the definition of X to include those things"

  I have the knowledge and who doesn't should be in the walled garden of some sort. Either the one I set up with words ("never install sus apps mom") or Apple forces. Sure Apple has some sus apps on the store too but it's still a million times better than if some random "friend" got her to install actual blatant spyware that siphons her bank info and snoops on our messages

    You’re right. Apple should also start vetting every website we go to in order to ensure this kind of security when we browser the web too. Unless the website pays Apple a yearly fee and a 30% cut it shouldn’t be allowed to sideload itself into our browser. For the sake of security of course.

      Websites are better sandboxed and even though they are a big vector they themselves are not persistent like apps

        macOS apps are also sandboxed but that wasn't deemed safe enough when discussing iOS apps.

        macOS apps are not sandboxed nearly as well as iOS apps, any app can read your clipboard etc etc
