> I'm also paying Apple to curate my experience.
Which is totally fine.
But why not allow customers to make that decision? If the Apple App store truly delivers an experience that warrants a 30% uplift, consumers will pay for it.

So some significant chunk of Apple’s users would use a 3rd party app store and experience would be down, security would be a nightmare, people would have all sorts of complaints and Apple’s reputation would take a hit.
I explicitly don’t want the non-walled-garden stuff to be installable on my phone (by me or my friends or my kids). I don’t want 3rd-party stuff to have the same experience/performance as a native app, which I grant more trust. I like the visual cues, permissions management and temporality while using the browser for low trust or low value add content.
