    The question wasn’t how to switch OSs without losing current capabilities, it was how to stop using Android. Switching OS is how.

    Losing side loading is something being lost either way.

      This is exactly the question. The article is about Google taking away software freedom, forcing developers to dox themselves, and forcing users to only install software from Google’s approved list.

      Apple is already there. How would that help anyone?
