    Since it’s never going to happen, it’s all just fantasy dreaming. If you must have that, it’s over to android for you.

    I’ve been an iPhone user since it first launched (outside the US), and I’ve never felt unfairly restricted by Apple’s rules. While I’m not a developer, I’ve paid to play inside XCode and deploy on my own device. It wasn’t onerous. I’m not a FOSS fanatic.

      It will happen at some point, and it’s not just “FOSS fanatics” advocating for this, it’s governments and billion-dollar corporations. That was the purpose of the DMA, and I’m sure as more countries implement similar laws and Apple’s bullshit gets tried in court, the platform will be forced open.
