It's like taking care of a child. If the child want get on the table, you'll say no. The child still want it.
This is apple move saying: "ok, get on the table, then don't say I warned you".
An adult tells a child to stay off the table because the child does not have the skills to remain safe on its own.
As an adult, I have actually stood on my table to change light bulbs. I know what the table can handle, how to fall, and the risks involved.
Interestingly, iphones have a setting that allows parents to restrict access for their children.
I do not want Apple dictating how I can use my property, since I am an adult and I know what I am doing. Perhaps adults should limit how children install apps. And administrators can likewise limit how users install apps.
Apple sold me the phone, and it's now my iphone. I want it to be serviceable and usable after Apple ends support. This requires it to function after they block it from accessing the app store. This requires sideloading.
