    I get your point, but third-party app stores are optional. You can still only download apps from THE App Store.

    And I get what you mean, when it comes to the longevity of devices. I feel like this will change in the future, but time will tell.

      While I sometimes get annoyed with Apple and the App Store policies, I also view this as a differentiator. It’s arguably more secure. It’s a trade off I can live with.

      It will be interesting to see how Apple plays out the third party store.
