You have to go out of your way to install non play store apps on Android

That's...just not true. It's like dumb easy if you know that an android app is an APK file. Or even just a quick web search about the subject. The situation has always been that it's harder to sideload on apple vs android.

Dumb easy for you and likely most of Lemmy. I think you over estimate the capabilities of the general public.

[–] JimboDHimbo@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

That's completely fair.

It's easy but it's extra steps, thus out of your way. I don't know any non power users that don't use the play store exclusive. I think Apple is putting up a big fuss about nothing, they've probably wasted more money fighting this than they'd lose. The built in app store has such a ridiculously huge home field advantage.
