Why not both? You get the AppStore and are allowed to sign apps for your own devices.

(We actually already have a workaround for this: https://altstore.io/ but it still requires Apple to sign your apps and is relatively difficult to use)

OK great. I have no problem with that.

I’d choose the opposite... if I had that choice.

Why should we not have that choice though?

That is because apple fanboys like @alkonaut does not allow sane discussions pointing out apple flaws on iOS on Hacker News

Can't you tell from his attitude? Even if you can, I still need to point that out because nobody else will

If you didn't want that, that's ok, but let the rest of us who want to do it, do it. I am perfectly happy with FDroid on Android and get a lot of my apps from there.
