End users aren't supposed to install KaiOS, vendors are supposed to ship handsets (like the new Nokia 1) with it preinstalled.

Apple didn't start out with a curated store, they started out with "open" HTML5 apps that couldn't do shit. Today, Apple barely can do quality control on the iOS store, Google esse…
