This is what I’ve been saying the whole time. If we open up third party app stores, get ready for the meta store to be the exclusive place to download instagram and the Microsoft store the exclusive place to get outlook/teams, both pumped full of tracking and junk that would have never been approved by Apple, diluting the iPhone experience for many.
Apple is WAY stricter about their store than google is. Google so so lax because they know giant devs would leave. Apple has gotten away with being a gate keeper making these apps play nice because there was no alternative.
