Did not know about the API. This clears a lot, thanks.

And about closed garden being wanted - if evrything goes through the people who made the thing, then these things are guaranteed to work on the thing. No wondering, no thinking, it just works. And such closed and tight thing was something I heard from people boasting iphones as best thing.

That's mostly copium.

There are some benefits to Apple's ecosystem, such as iMessage and iCloud working across devices, but that has nothing to so with the App Store, but Apple's first party apps. The App Store certainly has value through its audits, but that could still be a thing with rival stores existing on the platform.

What harm does having more options for installing apps have for iPhone users? If they don't want to use them, they don't have to. Do it like Android and tell users that those apps aren't reviewed by Apple and could cause problems, but only the first time (or perhaps the first time per source).
