That's only iOS, and I've heard that EU's trying to put an end to that. Third party apps works fine with macOS; never once have I even touched the app store, only Homebrew. I do agree that the lack of control and freedom you have is egregious, especially for such an expensive device, there really should be an toggle to turn all of that restriction off for those who knows what they're doing. I'm also pessimistic about the future of macOS given the absolute bullshit Apple's been pulling with iOS. I can only hope Asahi Linux gets feature parity with macOS by the time they do the same with macOS, else I'll have to sell my M1 MacBook and get something else, and that's a shame because despite less-than-ideal OS, the hardware is amazing.
