Sideloading Bill Would Allow 'Malware, Scams and Data-Exploitation to Proliferate,' Says Apple

I never said walled garden or open garden. Maybe you’re mistaking me for someone else.
Is it your opinion or a fact that I am making an argument for "this user"? And who is "this user" exactly?
I was giving an example where this is already happening. It is Google's Android and Apple's very own macOS. Fragmentation is not perceived there as a negative. In fact, macOS would lose most of its productivity suites if sideloading wasn't allowed. And it would even be less secure.
If I consider only buying games from Steam a Walled Garden, how do I get Final Fantasy 7 Remake? It’s not on Steam. This WILL happen on iOS. Because to compete with the App Store, exclusivities happen. Epic does it on PC to take on the Steam behemoth. Epic will do the same on iOS. People here are only thinking of tomorrow. Not a year from now.
I'm not sure I've ever seen as much FUD as that which surrounds this topic.
Apple is absolutely brilliant at screwing with the minds of its users.
They have some folks CONVINCED that iPhone is going to die if Apple can't be the sole source of third party apps.
It's insane.

Your posts just don’t make sense. I said an open environment is less secure than a walled garden closed environment by definition. You told me to look up what definition means. Now you are saying you never said such a thing?!
Insane doesn‘t even scratch the surface unfortunately
There is nothing but your own opinions and predictions. Maybe you think they're more valid than others, but they're still pure guess.
Do you share your account with other people or something? I literally discussed all of these points in response to your posts over the past few pages. If your memory is so short that you can't retain that then I don't know what good it would be to repeat myself.
Oh just like there is proof from every developer in existence that ever single iOS app ever made and will be made will always be on the App Store? Thus solidifying the “keep the walled garden setting in place it won’t change your usage at all” stance? That’s a pure guess by others on this topic. While I have evidence it will NOT be that way by taking Epic’s attitude and how they compete with Steam as a reference point.
Maybe I'm being a little harsh. I take it English isn't your native language, so maybe that's causing a breakdown in communication. If so, I apologise.
An app does not need to be on the App Store, nor does it increase or guarantee its security. Please read into the topic which means reading something else outside of Apple's PR handbook.
Not a single person here has said that explicitly.
Most are simply saying that a gate into the garden will enable more bad actors than continuing to have no gate.
It’s logically true. It’s laughably undeniable.
They are probably also under the impression that Right To Repair impairs the integrity of their smartphone.
Holy smokes what’s with all the condescending attitudes on this thread. So you have proof that English isn’t my primary language? Just FYI I have never spoken anything other than English my entire life. I don’t even know Spanish or French.
What is true or not is for everyone to decide. You can't decide that for everyone.
Let's say your right, which your not, I posted references to payment processors being hacked, I posted references to apps unavailable via the MacOS store but what do you think I am wrong about?
Do you really believe that 100% of apps will maintain a presence on the Apple app store? If anyone claims that my user experience will not suffer than they must claim that or be in favor of that.
Do you really believe that moving from 1 store with 1 payment processor to lets say 10 major app stores, all with their own forced logins and random payment processors will not jeopardize user information? I don't see how that is possible as I posted references of random payment processors being hacked.
I don't recall Slack requiring a third login in order to download it from their website instead of the MAS.
IMO that is solely your point and that of others, but not mine or that of other others.
It’s already been decided since the inception of the iPhone.
To change it is a different matter. And your statement there in this case can apply to either view point.
Edit. Misread you post. You’re saying that including a gate in a wall make no difference to the integrity of a wall without a gate?
Uh. Read up on epic exclusivity on PC games. The ONLY way it can compete with Steam, not even lower percentage markup was enough. Epic WILL do the same on iOS.
