There used to be a YouTube subscription called Premium Lite which was just ad-free YouTube. I happily paid for that until they shut it down and tried to force the much bigger subscription on me (nothing else in premium is relevant to me). N

The first facebook issue that you mention is unrelated to the App Store, it’s an OS restriction. Side loading won’t affect this. Apple can clearly make the OS secure/privacy friendly if they want to. The only layer of security that you

That equivalence is awful. What is the profit margin of airlines vs the app store? There is a real cost to an airline seat, and there is a real cost to publishing an app on an app store (and all that it entails). The difference here is that
