That second reason is exactly the opposite of what we needed. Fucking Apple, why can’t they just do it like in macOS and allow everything by default unless blacklisted as malware? Damn.
No, it’s called gatekeeping and screwing over users for profit. I’m not against Apple having a tightly controlled store and system so the majority of regular users only use it and have really high quality stuff, what I’m against is blocking anyone from coding and deploying an app to any iOS device without a certificate OR not having 3rd party stores and all the crap.
Again in macOS you can install apps from everywhere, you still have a tightly controlled store and a set of enforced restrictions for all other apps. Things never turned into a malware or garbage sideshow and everyone is happy. What you’re saying isn’t a valid excuse, just Apple going for profits.
Since it’s never going to happen, it’s all just fantasy dreaming. If you must have that, it’s over to android for you.
I’ve been an iPhone user since it first launched (outside the US), and I’ve never felt unfairly restricted by Apple’s rules. While I’m not a developer, I’ve paid to play inside XCode and deploy on my own device. It wasn’t onerous. I’m not a FOSS fanatic.
It will happen at some point, and it’s not just “FOSS fanatics” advocating for this, it’s governments and billion-dollar corporations. That was the purpose of the DMA, and I’m sure as more countries implement similar laws and Apple’s bullshit gets tried in court, the platform will be forced open.
Dude, the typical Mac user doesn’t run MacKepper and doesn’t want to run it. Besides if you break your phone that’s your fault. I bet people using Android phones are always on that 911 situation and nobody cares.

It’s called playing it safe. Bad actors won’t be able to meet the standard and so users will never see their garbageware.
Totally fine by me.

Don’t hold your breath. If it means that much to you then off to android you go.
Even if you pay you’re forced to resign your apps every year… that’s just over the line.

A phone is absolutely a computer despite Apple’s marketing, and why would it be Apple’s fault you installed something on your phone?
