    Android already proves that your point is moot

      No!

      The PlayStore is very differently to the AppStore. The AppStore has very strict guidelines for developers. Especially when it comes to terms like supporting iPhone UI/UX and hardware features and when it comes to data protection for users.

      And for real, the Android apps have a lower quality than iOS apps and are more a mess. There is a lot more chaos around Android apps.

      Also the good thing with AppStore is. Apple can force developers to update their apps to the newest iOS versions.

      That doesn’t work for Android and you get the problem that some apps don’t really support newer Android versions and the developers are too lazy to update. That leads to people not updating to newest Android versions, because they want to keep the functionality of such apps.

      But for the Apple ecosystem it’s important, that as an Apple user you should always be on the latest versions, otherwise the ecosystem will no more run smoothly.

      There isn’t even such an ecosystem with Androids and therefor it’s not that important to update to the latest versions.

      I buy Apple products, because of the smooth working ecosystem but that also means, Apps need to have a certain quality and have to adhere to guidelines Apple gives to developers.

      With sideloading alternative where developers would be no more foced to adhere to thise guidlines, iOS apps will become a mess, they will be lower in quality and less secure and will no more protect your privacy as it is now.

      I don’t want this and I don’t understand, why people who want to have a sideloading alternativ not just buying an Android. You’re not forced to buy an iPhone.

      Both OS are differently, let to have customer that choice. Why do both OS need to be similar?

          Then explain, why for example Facebook is crying to have a massive profit loss on iOS (around 50%), because Apple made new privacy guidelines for developers? The guidline says that there must be a clear opt-in function on iOS to users to accept them to collect their data.

          It’s a huge privacy feature. Also developers must tell Apple what kind of data they want to collect from the users. Users then see warnings on the AppStore.

          Those are a few examples. But nothing like that exists for Android.

          And your phone tracks and keeps a lot more sensitive data of you than a laptop or desktop computer. You also always have the phone with you.

          So it’s more important, that a smartphone has stronger protections and security measurements than a normal computer.

          I wouldn’t want an iOS concept on my MacBook, but I really want to keep it on iOS.

          I really don’t understand what the problems of you guys is. It sounds like, you’re forced to buy an iPhone.
