What are they offering? A closed platform that arbitrarily stops perfectly valid apps over idiotic concerns of “competition”?

When people say Apple fans are sheep this is what they mean.

I want companies like microsoft, adobe, and others to go through the app store, because otherwise they're a fucking plague on the system and install a bunch of stupid shit that is hard to get rid off.

But if they go through apples system, getting rid of things is really quite easy.

Probably not as much of an issue on iOS, but if macOS is any indication of what's in store for sideloading, no fucking thanks, I'd much prefer my walled garden.

there are words for people that talk like this as well, hint none of them are pleasant.
