Apparently, there are people who are happy that they won’t be able to install optional third party stores on iOS because they don’t live in the EU.

Like, why?! “Oh I’m sure glad this option to get more apps that Apple might have not allowed doesn’t come to MY phone!”

@thelinuxEXP Idk, maybe it's more them worrying they might by accident install something malicious?

@fluffy_fox By accident? Sounds super unlikely. Knowing Apple, you’ll have to click 5 polyps every time you install anything from one of these alternative app stores.

@thelinuxEXP I didn't say it was likely, I just know that most users who aren't super savy with tech tend to think like that, and in turn, are happy when Apple, Microsoft, or any other company "Takes care of them" by locking down features.

@thelinuxEXP I'm personally with you in wanting to have the option for alt app stores since I find all the apps I use in different places.
