> iOS is a Shopping Mall "No Porn Stores Here Please".
Most shopping malls I go to don't block me from entering any malls that they don't own.
It astounds me how many people are willing to give Apple a free pass on this inexcusable behaviour. Microsoft got the crap sued out of them just for pre-installing IE on a bunch of computers, imagine if they also tried to make it impossible to install any competing browsers, and tried to claim that it was illegal to wipe the OS and install Linux instead!
Yes, if Apple allowed people to download apps that would change the narrative completely.
I'm not defending Apple's behaviour, I'm explaining it.
If we assume as a starting position that they want a 'closed universe' then their content policy is sensible, even if the 'closed universe' policy is not.
