"I've been consistently saying this online - "app stores" and "developer programs" are all about control ..." Good When I choose "DIY" I am not making the choice for "security", "privacy", speed, resource conservation (e.g., program size, memory usage, etc.), convenience, "features" or cost.^1 I am interested in control. Specifically, control over the operation of the computer hardware I purchased I am willing to make sacrifices to get as much control as I can But every user is different; some might not care about control. Clearly "Big Tech" cares; perhaps there are advantages to having control 1. Although it's possible the choice may affect these concerns, either positively or negatively. Arguably these concerns are ultimately addressed with finality by whomever has control, whether that's the computer owner or some trillion dollar company
