You linked to an article about apps that can no longer be installed because they were removed.

This is only possible because of Apple's walled garden.

I can't tell if you're actually this stupid or just trolling.

There were 9 apps this researcher alone found. It doesn't matter that they were removed. They were installed thousands of times prior, and these apps are constantly in and out of the App Store.

Now let's ignore that entirely, your other presumption is that literally no one else is capable of this sort of filtering, which completely proposterous.

A choice that you all want to diminish and take away.

Why do you keep straight up lying? No one wants to take away your choice to continue doing exactly what you're already doing. What's happening is that you want to take away every other Apple owner's choices, and receive literally nothing in return, because you maintain an ignorant view of how app stores work.

By the way, all of this is exactly how Mac computers work right now, so I hope you don't have any of those dangerous machines. But judging by your fanboyism, I'm assuming you do.

Having an alternative app store or sideloading removes Apple from being able to protect against those types of attacks.

Just more blatant lies.
