It boggles my mind that there are people rooting for Apple to "win" here. Whatever you think of Epic, Spotify, etc, the changes they propose would be a win for customers to use the devices the way they want to. If you only want to download apps from Apple's approved app store, they are not taking that away from you.

Not everyone values having an open device. Being my family and friends’ on-call tech support tells me this would in fact be a negative.

I bought an Apple phone specifically because it's not open.

I think we should be allowed to have that as much as we're allowed to make a completely open and modular device. I like having the choice to have a locked down, simplistic device. The fewer openings, the better for me there.
