The first time Amazon tried to force me to use their app store to get an app I left Android and never looked back.

By forcing Apple to support anybody putting their own app store on it you are removing the walled garden and removing choice from the marketplace.

If you want sideloading, stay on android. It doesn't affect you that I have and want a walled garden so stop complaining. Problem solved.

How is only allowing Apple’s App Store considered “choice”? What are you choosing?

I am choosing privacy, security, and user experience over Epic Games making extra money off of me.

That’s a false dichotomy. You aren’t giving up anything by letting other people sideload.

I am giving up privacy, security, and user experience by my chosen walled garden being forced to allow alternative app stores on the platform.

I already have the choice to pay significantly less for a worse product that doesn't have these things and allows sideloading.

You are the one removing my choice.
