Easy to imagine it. It’s the google android play store situation.
And it just... sucks. So many avenues for exploitations for average developers that I'd never trust and install a 3rd party app on such a device that I carry around with me every day. Sure, Apple model is far far from perfect but the only solution I can think of for such a personal device.
Like, just don't install those apps. Easy.
Jesus they had 3 months to do it.
Man, that is a classic "Jobs" reply. Detailed, well-reasoned email, acknowledged by a curt one-sentence reply. But that only happened in email. I don't think Jobs liked the written medium. He could talk up a storm. One of the best declarative public speakers I've ever heard (but not an "emotionally eloquent" one, like many preachers).
Don’t think that’s as much a “Jobs” reply as just a general senior management necessity. With the amount of “important” emails you get in a position with any kind of responsibility, writing thoughtful elaborate responses to each and every one would leave you with no time to do your actual job. So you communicate the core message clearly and bluntly, and move on to the next fire.
I think I originally picked this up from professors, because I'd write a well thought out response (an unreasonable amount of time spent on it), and the professor would respond with all the info I'd need in two sentences.

I beg to differ. From my understanding, Google does not notarize apps from outside the Play Store and therefore cannot revoke apps outside the Play Store from launching. Apple can and does do all those things on macOS.

How does that make it suck? Like, just don't install those apps. Easy.

I think a good example of this would be Tim Cook’s email to Phil Schiller on why the Mac’s App Store wasn’t taking off, which was revealed during the Epic Games v Apple trial: https://mobile.twitter.com/benedictevans/status/139681157744 ... Cook sees the fire, gives a brief thought, and leaves it to Schiller on Christmas Eve to figure out why it started and how to fix it.
Unfortunately, it was truncated in your post
Cheers and thanks for the reference!
