Comment on EU antitrust chief to Tim Cook: Apple must allow third-party app stores
seedd@lemmy.world 11 months agoAndroid has sideloading and Google takes 30% cut too. Sideloading is pointless if majority people don’t know about it. Google for example will give you a fat warning if when you install f droid…oh this shit danger bro…don’t install it. Yeah, it is dangerous …for your business. Apple will do the same, oh technically we allow sideloading EU. And they will keep fearmongering. That is why this mentality of people that sideloading is alway bad needs to go away, for that only store like f droid should be allowed.

So you’re argument is that because we can’t get to perfect we shouldn’t even bother trying good?
Competition regulators can mandate that large companies make their service available on multiple storefronts in the future but now we need them to mandate multiple storefronts.
The regulators can prevent Google from making it more difficult to use an alternative store. These are iterative changes.
