OMG nerds in here screeching about corporations and shit.
It’s because people don’t give a fuck and a locked down device is more simple to support and usually will provide a better experience.
And better security, theoretically.
TBH most Android users would absolutely install all sorts of malware if it wasn’t literally impossible with the OS’s architecture. Not that Google Play isn’t a scam-infested bog, but I do get the locked-down approach.
