> Overruling the world's premier phone-maker on questions of how to design a phone is not improving society. I think it is! Certainly not on the level of eliminating feudalism, but it's an improvement. You're also misusing the term "design" here. Apple's resistance to allowing sideloading has nothing to do with design. It's a business decision that helps them extract more revenue from their product. And that's the real point: governments are free to restrict and dictate how companies do business. That's just how the world works. > I'm giving Apple money specifically because they designed the phone. And many people give Apple money somewhat grudgingly, because they know Apple offers a great experience, even though there are some things they don't like about it, and there's no reason -- aside from Apple's business model -- why those issues can't be fixed.
