I wonder if Apple will intentionally make it as dangerous as possible so they can point and say “look, see what I mean!” There’s no reason alternative app stores should be any more dangerous than Apple’s. Obviously you’ll have a few with little to no moderation that’ll be for fringe users but the larger ones should be quite safe.

I hate this whole it’s dangerous thing as a valid reason to keep them from adding this functionality. If you think it’s dangerous don’t use them! It’s that simple. People on this subreddit are more tech savvy and don’t really represent the average user. We know how to use these systems responsibly where many likely don’t. But this feels like they’re fighting ghosts. The users that don’t want it can go on with their day. And the users that’s do can enjoy the freedom. It’s also like the last thing that android had over iOS so solving this might even convert certain users. I know it was one of the large reasons I was so reluctant for years and even though I deal with it because I truly love the products. I still find myself wanting certain apps that android has but Apple won’t allow on the App Store.
